> Originally we had one bean object for jobs and one for links that was able to transfer one or more links/jobs. It seems that current code base has separated that into {{LinkBean}} for one object and {{LinksBean}} for multiple objects (same for job). Searching git and JIRA history I did not find proper discussion nor reasoning for this change. I see several challenges with this concept:
> * It's making one REST interface return different types depending on input values
> * It's making both client and server code difficult because we have to separate the cases everywhere
> It seems that this new concept has been extended to all returnable objects (Connectors, links, jobs, privileges, ...), so the change will be quite intrusive. Any objections if I return it back?
