+1 

a) Will both methods query and REST be supported via different
endpoints while the deprecation is happening?

b) Is the plan to reuse existing API entities, which surface to a
query endpoint naturally over a REST endpoint, or do you plan to
re-write the API entities? 

For eg: CreateEntity, DeleteEntity, ListEntity over 

@Http(method=GET)Entity.list(), @Http(method=POST/PUT)Entity.create(), 
@Http(method=DELETE)Entity.delete()

c) An alert to downstream projects may be when you start this? -
jclouds, libcloud etc
