  x-versioning:
    scheme: URL path (/api/v1). A breaking change ships as /api/v2; /api/v1 is never broken in place.
    deprecationPolicy: A deprecated endpoint returns the RFC 8594 `Deprecation` header with the date it was deprecated, and `Sunset` with the date it stops responding. Sunset is never less than 180 days after Deprecation, and both are announced at https://bidprowl.com/developers before they are sent.
