"Anything goes" in the flexible page schema. Instead, the schema and validation will live in Whitehall. Part of the motivation for 'flexible pages' is to be able to quickly respond to new user needs, e.g. building new page types like for Coronavirus or Brexit. If Frontend is built flexibly enough, then the only repo that would need any changes in such an event would be Whitehall (and perhaps even then there may be no changes required in Whitehall itself, depending on how self-serve we make the offering). We want to avoid having to raise PRs across Whitehall, Publishing API and Frontend for any tweaks to flexible pages. This commit is a proof of concept while we explore the idea further.
