Comment:

 The first thing to do is to replace any current usages of
 `$post->post_status` with simply `get_post_status( $post->ID )`.

 See https://github.com/xwp/wordpress-develop/pull/214

 The lesser-important change to core is to handle permission checks for a
 post/page that has an `inherit` status when the `post_parent` itself is
 modified in the customized state. In this case, there needs to be filters
 applied on the `post_parent` value itself. However, there is no
 `get_post_parent()` function with any filters currently in core.
