// UniversalDecoder returns a runtime.Decoder capable of decoding all known API objects in all known formats. Used
// by clients that do not need to encode objects but want to deserialize API objects stored on disk. Only decodes
// objects in groups registered with the scheme. The GroupVersions passed may be used to select alternate
// versions of objects to return - by default, runtime.APIVersionInternal is used. If any versions are specified,
// unrecognized groups will be returned in the version they are encoded as (no conversion). This decoder performs
// defaulting.
//
// TODO: the decoder will eventually be removed in favor of dealing with objects in their versioned form
// TODO: only accept a group versioner

// This method is deprecated - clients and servers should negotiate a serializer by mime-type and
// invoke CodecForVersions. Callers that need only to read data should use UniversalDecoder().

// All other callers will be forced to request a Codec directly.
