Updated: Comment 23 Problem/Motivation [#2133469] removed paths from entity annotations and moved it to use route names instead. There are problems with that This is potentially quite problematic. We *need* the canonical relationship there. Also, we added those link patterns originally for REST module, so that we could *generate* the routes off of the links. But there are also problems with rolling this back, since we have settled for route names instead of links/link patterns everywhere else in core.
