Comment (by jorgefilipecosta):

 Thanks so much @justlevine for the detailed and thoughtful response,
 really appreciate you taking the time to lay all of that out, especially
 from mobile! And thank you @jorbin for raising the consistency concern and
 reopening the discussion, it's an important point.
 I'll revert [61602] before beta1 so we don't have this landing under time
 pressure.

 I also want to walk back my comment #5 a bit, I didn't mean to jump ahead
 and suggest we should lock in flat single-namespace names like core/get-
 post right away either. @justlevine is right that we should have a real
 conversation about what good naming looks like holistically before
 committing to any pattern in core.
 I think @justlevine raised some really compelling examples of existing
 WordPress APIs that already use nested slug fragments (hierarchical post
 types, REST subroutes like revisions, the Rewrite API, hooks, etc.), and
 those are worth weighing alongside @jorbin's consistency concerns. Both
 perspectives have a lot of merit here.
 I love the idea of @justlevine and @jorbin syncing up to share context on
 the prior discussions, and would love to participate. I think that could
 save us a lot of back-and-forth and help us land on something we're all
 happy with.
