Description

For two reasons:

• first, because almost always a home page will be a view model, so the only thing that this change does not support - which is to display the results of an action being arbitrary standalone collections - can be easily simulated as the parented collection of a view model
• second, because the current implementation to support @HomePage on actions requires a dummy helper class that exposes this action into the metamodel, but it is also exposed in the REST API, which is not ideal.
