> For the record, this violates the principles of REST and I generally
think it's a really bad idea.
While it's true that `/wp/v2/posts` currently means "posts with
`post_type` of `post`", at least a post of another type is still a post.

https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/issues/1506 GraphQL would be the
inevitable conclusion.
This is a far larger task, and our WP.com batch endpoint has caused us a
lot of very strange issues over the years. Some of them are specific to
the setup there; some would eventually reoccur in multisite context with
site and theme switching. I think it would ultimately be a pretty bad
idea to ship this in core.
How about a separate endpoint like `/wp/v2/posts/all_types`?
