Comment (by johnimg):

 I guess you could call bug fixes active development but better put that
 would be a support cycle. Windows XP was supported for bug fixes and the
 like for a long season also but that is not the same thing as active
 development. I can respect the decision to use Backbone as a supported
 technology though, even if it is not in active development.

 Note: I checked the repository, there are no new branches that I could
 find. If there are would you please show me the link to the same or a
 roadmap or evidence of the same?

 P.S.
 I do see the REST API is in development. While that is nice it is not at
 all the same thing. Now if we developed a back end RESTful data service
 that performed the same functionality then the point would be meaningful.
 The point to oData is not having a restful service. The point is having a
 CRUD+ interface standard prebuilt. You would not have to wire for read,
 wire for write, wire for update, wire for delete, wire for (the list goes
 on) as oData has that all built in standard. Now if WP had RESTdata, a
 service that had wiring for those purposes then  the REST-API would be an
 actual consideration for replacing oData. At this point it is like trying
 to replace a hotel foyer with a mud room and coat closet. It's just not
 the same thing.
