It is also extremely useful in wire interactions to be explicit so that
you know for sure you are interacting with the thing you think you are.
There was also the potential question of compound API operations (a Nova
call that calls other microversioned services that may impact
representation) and whether that may need to be surfaced to the user.
For instance network portions of the 'servers' object may get impacted
by Neutron.

With all those possibilities, putting in the extra ~8 bytes to handle
contingencies seemed prudent.
