At some point the new CXF calls all got wrapped with a metadata object. For
the return types that are lists I understand why we did it but for the
single objects we are returning an empty block. Is there a reason we are
wrapping the non-list data?
Another thing is, is wrapping the data the right thing to do or should we
be using something like link headers [1] like github does [2][3]?
I could go either way with representing the list data (headers or metadata)
but I definitely think we should remove the wrapping for the non-list data.
What impact will that have on the Angular branch?
