3.0.0 RCs are in progress already. Bit late to make a breaking change. the REST APIs are versioned for a reason. So long as we're outputting these changes on a new version, this change should be fine on whatever branch we like. When we open up for changes to go in the next major release we can drop the v1 APIs.
