In the future, we might consider adding an API whereby clients can specify which features that they needed when connecting to the broker.  This would allow clients to know which features they were getting up-front, rather than learning later.  For example, a client could specify that it needs ListOffsetRequestV1 support in order to start up.  Or the client could specify that it needs exactly-once semantics in order to start up.

 If we ever need to update to a new, incomptible version of the SaslHandshakeRequest, we could use this mechanism to do so.  The client would simply make the ApiVersionsRequest call before setting up SASL.  This will probably not be necessary, since the current SaslHandshakeRequest is fairly flexible.  However, it is an option in the future if we need it.
