 > For me it doesn't really matter why it is worse. We should not implement
 this in this way if we will get a RESTfull API in 3.7 or 3.8. We should
 look how we want stuff in the future instead of looking only to the next
 release.

 Could you and rmccue put together a proposal for a REST API? I'd love to
 see a full breakdown of the work involved, the design, the testing plan,
 the apps you'll build to verify that it meets real-world needs, and a
 schedule for all of that.

 Forgive me for being skeptical, but based on my experience with the core
 community over the past several releases, I have a truly hard time
 believing that you could land a proper REST API even by 3.8.

 In the meantime, there's a demonstrable need for an API that is better
 than XML-RPC, and I feel JSON-RPC is a way to get there quickly with
 minimal code churn. As scribu said, if you have real technical or
 maintainability concerns, I'd love to hear them.
