I think that the third option (option 1 in her email) that Anne was
raising deserves attention:

I am cathing up on lots of threads, no I will ask the following: has
"reliability, stability, and predictable evolution of [..] the
services themselves" been discussed?

What I have in mind is a service making use of others and therefore
having a dependency on different services which have a particular
version. One might say that the identifier for the service should
change because it can be considered as a different service, but I
guess that it's already part of the discussion about how to address
the problem.
