Seems we can hardly reach an agreement about whether to use microverion for fields added in response, but, I think for tempest, things are simpler, we can add schema check according to the api-ref, and if some issues are found (like groups field) in older version, we can simply remove that field from required fields. That won't happen very often.

Yeah and this is real pain point for end-user or app using API directly. Dynamic API behaviour base don system configuration is interoperability issue.
In bug#1687538 case, new field is going to be reflected for the same backend and same configuration Cloud. Cloud provider upgrade their cloud from ocata->anything and user will start getting the new field without any mechanism to discover whether that field is expected to be present or not.
