Comment (by helen):

 Could I please have a summary of the following, both for myself and for
 general reference?

 1. What is the proposed solution in the patch?
 2. How does this affect existing post passwords?
 3. How would original functionality be restored via plugin?
 4. How does this relate to `WP_Query` changes in #20308 cited above?
 5. How does this affect the REST API? See https://github.com/WP-API/WP-
 API/issues/1055
