 require `reassign` in 4.7 too. See attached screenshot, wp-admin has no
 default value either, you have to read and confirm the action.

 > I'm not sure how this would actually work in practice, but requiring
 `reassign` doesn't sound great to me. What happens if you just want to
 update a user? You'd need to send e.g. `{ "name": "My New Name",
 "reassign": false }` even if you're not removing roles.

 The `reassign` param should only be required for `DELETE` methods, and as
 per above, should be restricted to single-site usage only for 4.7
