I wonder when the time will come when putting "API version numbers" into URIs will feel as wrong to everyone as using GET unsafely does

@stilkov probably never because versioning an API is a reasonable thing to do.

@sallamar Interesting, wouldn't have expected that you agree

@stilkov URIs are fundamental - there is nothing wrong in putting numbers in them IME, the role of things above layer 7 is remains small.

@sallamar "There's nothing wrong" in the sense of "it doesn't matter" - I can agree with that. Calling that "versioning" - I don't.

@stilkov Fair enough. I wish we stop at layer 7 and call it a day.
Replying to @stilkov
@stilkov @sallamar FWIW I have yet to see a use case for URI versioning that warrants the URI space fragmentation.
