How much additional work would it be to keep the "old" rest
in a legacy
module separated from the pure one?
Does it even make sense?
As a user, when would I prefer which one over the other? If Bolt is the
general recommendation, I'd limit efforts on this one. It seems to be one
of those knobs I'd prevent the user from having to set if possible.
Can you write a blog post with a small poll to know if anyone
complains
about dropping REST
+1. Would be nice to get some feedback.
