Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 I'm happier with the approach of limiting the data to logged in users
 (I've made a caps suggestion on the PR but that is it).

 I'm still unhappy about placing the data in the `wp-json/` endpoint as a
 default because a better place can't be found. The data is strongly theme
 related and there aren't any significant ill-effects by waiting until an
 improved location can be found.

 Behind a login is an improvement because there ''may'' be sensitive data
 in the output, depending on how a third party developer is using them.
 It's low but not no risk.

 My big concern is that we can't use the REST index as a too hard basket
 when data doesn't quite belong anywhere else.
