I like Austin’s task proposal in that the plugin writers can focus on serializers and tasks that can be easily integrated with core. That said, I agree on the counterpoints raise about the new resource endpoints and turning much of pulp into a task running system. So I am a bit mixed on which approach is better.
I do think that we should remove POST /api/v3/repositories/<uuid>/versions/ from core.
