Comment:

 Discussed this issue during today's Gutenberg bug-scrub and heard there
 are dissenting opinions in the REST API team. I'd propose to do a quick
 use case example:

 Say I’m writing a post and I want to promote one of my products. I want to
 link to my product. Are you really saying in Gutenberg I have to do that
 manually? Do you realize this won't be very... welcomed by users?

 As I see it, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one, having the ability
 to link to any post type is paramount in a modern editor. Without this
 ability, Gutenberg will be pretty limited. At that point, better to switch
 back to AJAX :D
