 Replying to [comment:8 afragen]:
 > Just making sure that `channel=stable` is optional too.

 Yes! Optional parameters, but if not specified the "channel" is assumed
 based on the parameters (Which for most people, will be `stable` - or
 `development` if running on trunk). It's basically consolidating the
 various decisions the API currently makes into a singular label which can
 be set from the client instead of the API just guessing what the client
 wants.

 For testing (and maybe even ongoing..) I'll include a response header that
 indicates what the channel it's using is, so you can verify it's behaving
 as expected (open-sourcing this specific API isn't straight forward, so
 I'm not attempting that right now, but wanted to make it more transparent)
