> the "MERGE" verb was introduced in an early version of OData in order to support updating only the subset of fields specified in an update request. HTTP has since added a "PATCH" verb with the same semantics, and the two are defined as synonyms in [OData-Core]. To avoid creating legacy we should drop the "MERGE" verb from the OASIS specification.
