I found that https:/server/api/ provides an xml document with a <full_version> tag that suits my purposes and I wanted to make sure that the stability of such element can be depended upon by asking you about it. IMHO, it could be nice instead that we would have an api endpoint (if it is not there and I missed it) that would provide capability tags information such as: bridgeless_nets, vm_live_snapshot, etc.

i think the api should allow getting the version anonymously.

other possible places are the registration servlet or the health servlet, both anonymous today.
