 Hi @jarocks - Thanks for the ticket! I like the idea.

 For reference, #36687 was the ticket that introduced `posts_pre_query`.

 I'm unsure off the top of my head how best to handle all the post-query-
 processing that happens in `WP_Term_Query`. By way of comparison,
 `WP_Query` continues to perform all of its own `post_status` post-
 processing on posts provided by external data sources. We want to try to
 strike a balance between total customizability on the one hand, and giving
 developers all the conveniences of core queries on the other.

 As a way forward, could I suggest that you write a sample implementation?
 It's fine to use dummy data, of course. But I think it would be very
 helpful to get a sense of how the filter would work best. Ideally, the
 dummy data would be hierarchical, so we can get a sense of how count
 padding etc would work in practice. Since the data doesn't like in WP,
 it's likely that the callback function will *have* to handle all of this
 stuff, but it'll be a helpful exercise to see this in practice.
