I thought this was exactly the JSON blob we will implement, If you look at
the model of PDC
https://product-definition-center.github.io/product-definition-center/_images/overview.svg

Those endpoints are covered by relations Release, Compose, RPM through some
others.
The PDC approach is more or less a normalized RDBMS model.
This should be replaceable by a much simpler denormalized approach and
create one entry for each compose with all the data in one place.

It is also mentioned in the arc docs
