Sounds like a good plan. As you mention in openannotation/annotator#275, this will break backwards compatibility. I propose the following.

We serve a v2 API in two different ways:

• at /api/v2
• at /api, in response to an appropriate "Accept" header (e.g. application/vnd.annotator.v2+json)

Yep

Just to chime in here, I think we should delay this until we release annotator v2 and do a simultaneous release where we just bump the version and do this without any compat code.

I think there are probably few people, if any, beyond Hypothes.is who are using the response to this endpoint to bootstrap their Store plugin.
