Comment (by joehoyle):

 I agree with @rmccue that we don't need fully-fledged endpoints for this,
 as it's really just an alternative to admin-ajax and not part of the `/wp`
 namespace. I think all we need to do is set a good precedent for using the
 REST API as an ajax router (in this case). If I were to add anything I'd
 also add an GET endpoint, and use `rest_do_request` to populate the PHP
 data server-side too. This is again a good example to lay down for future
 REST API admin work.

 Given the simplicity of 40748.2.diff I think we could probably drop this
 in 4.8, but I understand @matt's reluctance to do that given how late it
 is.
