Jody,
the problem I'm seeing here is that you're trying to comment on
too much at the same time.
One thing is the technical means we're using to present the
configuration, and the other is the configuration itself.
The two are in fact tightly connected, as the REST api is a
pure reflection of the catalog API of GeoServer, but we
cannot work on both of them at the same time, especially
not on 1.7.x where the catalog API is mostly frozen.

To handle the kind of structural changes you seem demanding
for, we need to work on trunk and change the catalog api
accordingly, and we need some funding to make the changes,
or someone that wants to spend his time working on it.

The topic of GSIP 33 is "is this REST api good to deal
with the GeoServer catalog we have today?", what you're
trying to discuss is "is the catalog API good for the
next 5 years?" which is definitely a interesting topic,
but a different one.
Let's talk about it, but in a different thread, and then
let's put the result, along with an estimation, on
the roadmap ideas, and see if anyone is up to funding it.

Cheers
Andrea
