 I think it best to resolve this prior to moving these to the REST API, or
 to make the data available on the templates endpoint, theme endpoint or
 similar.

 I've double checked using the
 [https://playground.wordpress.net/?url=%3Frest_route%3D%2F&core-
 pr=7895#{%22$schema%22:%22https://playground.wordpress.net/blueprint-

 Playground for the attached PR] and if you search for the relevant strings
 for the default rest endpoint, you'll see that they are missing.
