I like stuff like TFA that pulls in concepts from numerous sources even if all the pieces don&#x27;t fit together perfectly. For instance, I doubt Leonard Richardson would be thrilled with the &quot;<i>Ramses</i> Maturity Model&quot; (we couldn&#x27;t even coin a different initialism?) and the &quot;Level 2.5&quot; idea. Eschewing links runs counter to Richardson&#x27;s (and Fielding&#x27;s) vision, period. If one must know the form of representations ahead of time, one cannot consume them in a completely maintainable way. One wouldn&#x27;t notice this within the organization, but rather at the edges where it must work with other organizations.<p>That said, Ramses and what it&#x27;s described as doing is impressive.
