Event Timeline

Discussed this at allhands. Consensus was that for next LTS release (1.35) we'll probably still have a RESTBase dependency in core, but we should be able to hack in a "no restbase" mode for the LTS release. For example, we could add a temporary API endpoint to allow VE to stash the data-parsoid itself, instead of using RESTBase to do stashing.

Looks like the parsing team is working on this
