I think the matrix parameters have a closer semantics to the header ones. The main issues was support for matrix params in the container. But we should not have any problems with WF9 or latest Undertow. So I vote for matrix params too. 

I will open a ticket against Hawkular Metrics to change the existing tenant query parameter to a matrix parameter.
