Comment:

 I agree it's less than ideal, but since 1) xmlrpc already has this
 behavior 2) `wp_maintiance` runs before 99% of WordPress is loaded, so
 it's much harder to check if something is a rest request 3) the http
 status code is sent so clients know this wasn't a successful request.

 Actions we should take for 4.7:

 1. Ensure that the http code is documented
 2. Ensure that any libraries we know about account for the status code for
 maintenance.
