No, they just learned a few features and then stopped because it was
"good enough", and they had a thousand other things to code.
As to REST- yes, it is worth having a coherent API. Solr is behind the
curve here. Look at the HATEOS paradigm. It's ornate (and a really goofy
name) but it provides a lot of goodness- the API tells you how to use
it. For example, a search page response includes a link for the next
page; your UI finds the link and hangs it off a 'Next' button. Your UI
does not need code for 'create a Next link'.
Also, don't do that /v1 crap. At this point we all know how it should work.

+1. The bits are already in place for a lot of it now that RESTlet is in.
That being said, it truly amazes me that people were ever able to implement
Solr, given some of the FUD in this thread. I guess those tens of thousands of
deployments out there were all done by above average devs...
