-1 >From my experience, nothing good comes from merges similar to this one, as it has huge implications in terms of codebase maintenance, CD pipeline duration and stability as well as isolated testability. I don't see any particular worth benefit on having the REST server in the core repository as it is reasonably decoupled in design and have well defined responsibilities. Also, I can't foresee any particular issue at the present moment on keeping REST server right where it stands and contribute into it. If then governance happens to be an observed issue, this can be reconsidered again.
