Highly debatable. A (too quick?) Darwinist perspective would tell us that the original ReST was not fit. And the "new" ReST (aka, JSON-RPC) is more fit.
Fit in its current ecosystem, of course.

There are still theoretical discussions around "old REST", but they all have "new REST isn't REST at all" as their core point, so the lack of new terminology is deliberate there.
We may as well have a debate on what object oriented really means before implementing something, but again, the pragmatic will just create a structure that is broadly recognizable as object oriented.
