Most of the release for v1.8 was exactly in trimming down what we generate because it was clear that it was generating too much, getting in the way of both experienced devs (generating stuff they didn’t want) and new ones (too much to grasp at once). So there is a clear trend we are aiming for when it comes to generated code.

It is already exhausting to be in the forums and getting to constantly hear about everyone’s wish list. And on top of that, getting eye rolls, called weird (another thread) and unfair. When maintainers get characterized negatively for making decisions aligned with project goals or when simply sharing their opinion, it makes it harder to justify spending time in these informal discussions. So overall it is probably best for me to keep some distance and not get involved unless through official proposals.

There’s a security aspect to this between 404 and 401. 401 does acknowledge the existance of a record with the provided id, which might already be interesting information to a bad actor.

The 404 (Not Found) status code indicates that the origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists.

Should read RFC updates at breakfast. Settles it: 404 is okey. Also “current representation”
