This has been my favorite suggestion so far as well, especially for the consumers. 

I'm still leaning toward my changes for the repositories schedules of:

/v2/repositories/<repo id>/importers/<importer id>/schedules/sync/
/v2/repositories/<repo id>/distributors/<distributor id>/schedules/publish/

They are, as Nick pointed out, very long. But the schedules here really do belong to both the repository and importer or distributor. The length is a side-effect of Pulp's plugin architecture, and, imho, not too much more overly obnoxious than REST in general.
