Comment (by danielbachhuber):

 Something I've been thinking about recently with regards to whether or not
 fields should be editable: import / export. If someone were to build a
 import / export workflow based on the REST API, which seems totally
 reasonable to me, it seems like a reasonable assumption they should be
 able to update most (?) any fields for Resources (Posts, Comments, Terms,
 Users).

 I don't have a great suggestion for it at the moment, but maybe we need
 some paradigm or abstraction for a mode in which any field can be edited
 (including modified date, too).
