As I just wrote:

Personally I think the most sensible thing to do is to make it the
job of the messaging layer (or lower) to negotiate it (which semantic
version), and simply noting that expectation, *should* it ever
happen, works for me.

Part of the reason why I think so, is that our experience so far
indicates that traffic-steering is used to send "new traffic" to
a dedicated set of "test-servers", so the earlier the choice can
be made, ideally at the TLS layer, the better.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
