Comment (by youknowriad):

 > You're working with 15+ years of code, not a shiny brand new project.

 I understand that, and these compromises are necessary. But that's not a
 reason to not change anything. We could plan these more difficult changes
 iteratively. Deprecate things for several versions... Inform the users to
 force a property to `true` even if it's its default value and then after
 some releases, switch it to default `false`...

 Do you have any link to discussions explaining the need for
 `show_in_rest`, I'd love to learn more about those compromises?
