 ## Versioning
 
-Every ESI request can include an `X-Compatibility-Date` header using the ISO format - `YYYY-MM-DD`. This header tells ESI "This application was built or updated at this date - give me the API behavior as it was at that date". If applications cannot set custom headers, the `compatibility_date` query parameter will do the same.
-The date cannot be in the future, neither can it below a minimum threshold (the "oldest" versions available). If this minimum bar is raised, this will be clearly communicated via dev-blogs.
