Some questions :
* If we go for the accept header and the consumer don't provide it, what do
we do ? Return an error or use implicitly the latest version ?
* What will be our deprecation policy ? Do we want keep maintaining all the
versions forever or let's say for 1.1 we still provide 1.0 and for 2.0 we
drop 1.0 ?
About the implementation :
* I like the suggested CDI solution, if possible.
* Erik also mentionned OSGI and I'm -9999^99 to introduce that techno
