Comment:

 We do only show the status in `context=edit`
 ([https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.7/src/wp-includes/rest-
 api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-posts-controller.php#L1715 ref]).

 This has been reported at least one other time
 [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q9dyHi903GQjzzBK9jvi_lOpD9BxW176rdKGJK9eDC4/edit#gid=1331799258
 in testing].  I think it's a bit silly not to include `status`:  we
 support querying for a post status unauthenticated, even if just for the
 default status of `publish`
 ([https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.7/src/wp-includes/rest-
 api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-posts-controller.php?marks=2177,2180#L2160
 ref]) or `inherit` for attachments
 ([https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.7/src/wp-includes/rest-
 api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-attachments-controller.php?marks=636#L626
 ref]).

 Another status-related issue:  It's not possible to query posts with the
 `inherit` status unauthenticated.  But, it looks like they may show up in
 `/wp/v2/posts` if read permission is otherwise allowed.  Needs some
 testing.
