Comment:

 Have a grat email thread about this with Daniel Bachhuber. Copying here to
 share a good perspective:

 === Daniel says ===
 I think, from core's perspective, any changes to stickies fall into two
 categories:

 - If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
 - Not a priority to improve.

 The best way to get them to consider the latter is by building a really
 awesome plugin to "reinvent" how stickies work. Seems like this could be
 of benefit to you and the community.

 === "Exactly" I said, but... ===

 Yes totally right on that one.

 I think our experience + #23336 indicate it is broken. The reason we think
 it's a core issue is b/c stickies aren't currently filterable. We can't
 build a plugin that affects them directly. (a plugin that adds a
 "stickies" taxonomy, sure, but it wouldn't be any different from adding a
 tax' in your theme)

 Any chance you could suggest filters on the ticket as a solution?

 I'd like to see something like the old search fix in #10667. Those fixes
 led to a whole new class of plugins:
