 The long term vision for the block discovery in WordPress includes:

 * Fetching the available block types through REST APIs.
 * Fetching block objects from posts through REST APIs.

 There is no immediate need to start working on new block type related API
 endpoints. However, it would be great to have it included on the roadmap.
 Ideally, they should stay as close as possible to the WordPress.org API
 and the final shape of the endpoint for searching for blocks. This is
 going to be introduced as part of the Block Directory project.
