No offense taken at all, I also do think that the current API is absolutely terrible for humans! I just wanted to point out that it wasn't actually architected for it, plus, IIRC nobody in the project at the time had much - if any - experience designing ReST APIs. > ++, I do agree we could make a v2 faster than shoehorning things into > v1.
