I fail to see how using /api/0.6 makes things more complex for now. It
however *adds* the possibility to keep 0.6 life after 0.7 is productive.
Or not. That can be decided in future (and old versions of the api will
definitly break some day, and then be removed).

But just using /api/0.6 instead of /api should be near zero extra costs
for now - and if we keep that, or directly remove it on the day 0.7 gets
activated can be decided when we need to decide it.


Cheers,
Andi
