Comment (by boonebgorges):

 Replying to [comment:8 rmccue]:
 > FYI, this change to `get_term_by` [https://github.com/WP-API/WP-
 API/pull/1644 broke the REST API], since we relying on the check. We've
 fixed it, but might be worth noting in a field notes post for others that
 it might break.

 Thanks for the note. I'll note the change in the taxonomy field notes for
 4.4. But the new behavior is probably the correct one: if you are passing
 a 'term_taxonomy_id', you're likely doing it for the explicit reason that
 you want to avoid the 'taxonomy' table join, which means that you've
 already done your homework.
