It looks like a regression for the list, but the operator can still 
provide only one uuid if needed.
Providing a microversion for that would mean that V2.0 on v2.1 would 
have a different behaviour vs. the legacy /v2.0, which is bad IMHO.

Also, like you said, backporting the microversion to stable/liberty is 
bad too.


Those above points make me agree with you, we just need to fix the bug 
without creating a microversion IMHO.
