Comment (by rmccue):

 We [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/core-restapi/p1445297153000115
 discussed this in Slack]. Our current thoughts are along the lines of: add
 a `_builtin => true` to our routes, and disallow (via `_doing_it_wrong`)
 registering routes under `wp/v*` without the flag.

 Not entirely happy with the approach though. It doesn't solve the
 copypasta issue (if you copy-paste `wp/v2`, you'll probably copy-paste the
 `_builtin` bit too).
