You won't have to deal with it. Whomever is using that old API has to deal with it. Their choice.

We are talking about an API, not a shared service.

We are talking about an API, not a shared service.

That distinction is becoming a lot blurrier than it used to be as more and more "APIs" now are run as shared services with no option of running them locally.
