I like stuff like TFA that pulls in concepts from numerous sources even if all the pieces don't fit together perfectly. For instance, I doubt Leonard Richardson would be thrilled with the "Ramses Maturity Model" (we couldn't even coin a different initialism?) and the "Level 2.5" idea. Eschewing links runs counter to Richardson's (and Fielding'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't notice this within the organization, but rather at the edges where it must work with other organizations.

That said, Ramses and what it's described as doing is impressive.
