So today we have a proxy API in Nova which does some of this. I guess
the question is is it better to do this in Nova in the future or divorce
it from there.

But regardless of approach, I don't think it really impacts whether or
not we need to solve a saner versioning mechanism than we currently
have... which is randomly add new extensions and pretend it's the same API.
