 From [https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/issues/1504 API#1504], discussed
 briefly in #34302; PR on https://github.com/WP-API/api-core/pull/4.

 Everywhere else we deal with URLs, we specify namespace and route
 separately, except when generating URLs.

 This changes to no longer match the format of
 `get_home_url`/`get_site_url`/`get_admin_url` (blog ID, path, scheme),
 however there are already a few that don't follow this format:
 * `get_dashboard_url` (user, path, scheme)
 * `get_edit_profile_url` (user, scheme)
 * `get_site_icon_url` (size, URL, blog).

 This also breaks compatibility with existing versions of the API.

 If we want to pull the trigger, we need to do it ''now''.
