 > I think the distinction here is site wide conditional (say for the
 theme) or conditional based off a specific post.

 As far as I understand, this is the main argument against the change,
 right? That it would be introducing conditional logic that is specific to
 the post? The API isn't consistent with this either though. From what I
 saw in the post controller, there is password logic that depends on the
 sticky value.

 > Shouldn't you be able to POST the data you got back to the server
 without errors?

 On second thought, this would have much bigger consequences. When you have
 an invalid thumbnail ID, what should happen? Or are we then
 differentiating between values that depend on the theme rather than the
 database?
