Gal, thank you very much for the update to the list, I believe it’s very helpful,
I’ll add some inline notes.

I guess an strategy here could be: go on with an extension, and translate that into
an experimental API once micro versioning is ready, then after one cycle we could
“graduate it” to get versioned.

here, the topic name was incorrect, where I said API end points, we were
meaning URLs or REST resources.. (thanks Irena for the correction)

About this, the intention is not to fully model this, or to include it in the data model now,
but try to see how could we do it in future iterations and see if it fits the current data model
and APIs we’re proposing.
