Comment (by jnylen0):

 As discussed in Slack ([https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/core-
 restapi/p1480546859002876 some more]) 0 has special meaning for a post
 author.

 Is `reassign=0` a valid operation? If so, we should support `null` as a
 special value rather than using `-1`. This will require removing the
 `integer` type and adding a custom `sanitize_callback` - see #38971 for a
 similar example.
