Comment (by danielbachhuber):

 > We should also only expose this data when `context=edit` (which is a
 deficiency in the current Gutenberg implementation).

 Ah, this isn't possible because `$request` isn't passed through to
 `prepare_links()`.

 I suppose it's a non-issue to include the revision id in public data. In
 theory, this could be deduced by iterating ids on the revisions endpoint
 and looking at `401` vs `404` response headers. However, the revision
 count isn't public data. I don't see any issues with disclosing it, but
 something worth noting at the least.
