 Replying to [comment:2 jazbek]:
 > I think it would be ideal if `wp_insert_post` and
 `rest_insert_$post_type` were "parallel" so to speak, like they were
 previous to the 4.7 release

 These two are parallel now - unless you mean "the combination of
 `wp_insert_post` and the additional field updates".  In any case I think
 we'd need to add a new set of actions/filters rather than moving the
 existing ones again, now that they've shipped in a stable release.

 > However, it does seem like there should be an action in create/update
 that runs after the post and all fields are saved. It seems like that
 would be more useful than an action that runs when the create/update is
 "half" done.

 We could structure this as a set of filters that operate on the API
 response after a successful create/update.

 @rachelbaker - your thoughts on the purpose of the current `rest_insert_*`
 actions and possible next steps here would be helpful.
