Comment (by spacedmonkey):

 This ticket was discussed in this week's REST API meeting.

 In short, making filesize calls in the rest api, will likely come with
 some overhead. For example those storing files on NFS or S3, will like
 need to ping an external resource to get file information, slowing down
 the response.

 Until file sizes are "cached" somehow ( see #49412 ), this ticket should
 be marked as blocked.
