Ok, understood - that would be a problem i guess.

No problem and i understand that.

I like pragmatic and realistic solutions! If i understood you right, you 
first want to have a new "backend API" and then it would be easier to 
have a new backend, right? Well yes, that might be an option. And i 
think we are then talking about 2 projects:
a) REST API
b) Thin shiny modern backend for the editors daily work.

Sounds good to me.

Would you offer your help in project a)? Or is there already a project 
going in that direction?

Thanks again for picking up the idea and develop it further.
