Comment (by kadamwhite):

 If I can ask a question to clarify the intent here: it sounds like what is
 being proposed is (1) a Backbone re-write of the widget management UI, and
 (2) the addition of some endpoints for getting widget information via
 AJAX. The former seems to be the goal here, making it easier to add
 widgets to the customizer, etc, but this would require the latter in order
 to get and update information appropriately, correct? If so, I think it's
 important to be explicit about both components of the problem—the idea of
 a widget endpoint is also an open to-do for the json api project,
 https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/issues/19, and in that project Ryan calls
 out that a widget endpoint also makes assumptions about a sidebar
 endpoint, sidebars relationships to themes, etc.

 I'd like to see this happen, I just want to make sure the scope of the
 project is clear.
