Comment:

 Thanks for the ticket @zebulan!

 I think the only function we'd have to update in Core would be
 `rest_get_endpoint_args_for_schema.

 One issue with moving to `readOnly` is that it means that 3rd party
 developers will also have to account for both variations. Since a 3rd
 party developer letting a field that was marked as `readOnly` instead of
 `readonly` be updated could be a security or data integrity issue, I'm
 cautious about implementing such a change.

 We could potentially make sure `readonly` is also populated whenever
 `readOnly` is set, but I think that detracts from the value of the change
 in the first place.

 I'm going to go ahead and closed this as "maybe later" for now. But feel
 free to continue discussing!
