Comment (by rmccue):

 Replying to [comment:13 jnylen0]:
 > AFAIK this doesn't exist yet.  We could add a flag, or we could say that
 anything under the `dashboard/v*` namespace is not subject to the same
 backwards compatibility expectations as `wp/v2`, and document this
 carefully.

 This is basically the plan. `dashboard/` would be the prefix for endpoints
 just for the "dashboard app", which wouldn't meet the same design
 standards or back compat guarantees. That said, I don't think we'd
 necessarily have to just break backwards compat, we can continue iterating
 just like any API. (We could also continue to do the standard deprecation
 in release `n`, but then actually commit to removing it in release `n+1`.)

 `dashboard/` is basically the same as us creating internal PHP classes or
 functions called `_wp_...`.

 (See [https://github.com/WP-API/proposals/pull/1 the proposal] which would
 also add docs to the core contributor handbook; we can add further docs as
 well.)

 ----

 I'll update the patch to re-add the schema back in, since it seems like we
 still want that.
