Comment (by koke):

 Another thing that would be good to improve is discoverability. I was
 happy to see that [https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-
 rest-api/discovery/#authentication-discovery there's built-in support in
 the API] for exposing the available authentication methods, but I haven't
 seen this implemented by any plugin other than
 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api-oauth1/ OAuth1].
