 > Did wonder if someone can explain why there is an assign term check for
 wp_getTerm and wp_getTerms. Same for the edit taxonomy check for
 wp_getTaxonomy and wp_getTaxonomies. I think those checks can be removed.

 I think that was an attempt to restrict access so that not just ''any''
 user can fetch the taxonomy information. I'm not sure if or what a better
 cap check could be, or even what the data leakage concerns would be
 without a cap check.

 The new wp.getPost and wp.getPosts methods check the `edit_post` cap for
 similar reasons, I assume.
