This (http://paste.openstack.org/show/604775/) is absolutely perfect. I 
feel like the format could work for microversions as well. Anyone from 
Neutron or another microversion project that could weigh in?

Another great thing about this, is we can use this API version history 
to determine project age, which again is a manual thing we're doing 
right now.

Thanks!! Would love to hear others opinions on this?

That seems like something that should be dealt with at some point as more and more projects are moving to using micro versions.
