 Replying to [comment:5 sebastian.pisula]:
 > current fuction work bad too because in `$post->post_excerpt` I will be
 have excerpt and in get_the_excerpt I use filter to remove excerpt so
 `has_excerpt()` return `true` and `get_the_excerpt` return empty string ->
 except not exists

 This sounds like an edge case. If you do that and you want to make sure
 `get_the_excerpt()` is not empty, just use `if ( get_the_excerpt() { … }`
 instead of `has_excerpt()`.

 The ticket really is a wontfix in my eyes because it breaks backwards-
 compatibility. Devs expect it to check `$post->post_excerpt` and not
 `get_the_excerpt()`.
