I theory a GraphQL API can operate verison-less utilizing things like deprecation notices and field aliasing to smooth over any rough edges. Once we see calls on a certain thing reach zero and sustain that level, we can actually remove it and never have to bump a version anywhere.

That's the dream. We'll see how reality plays out.

For reference, we actually launched with some deprecated fields (see "databaseId" on the "Issue" type -- database IDs will be phased out for global relay IDs eventually) if you want to see what they look like.
