Comment:

 There are various filters that run after the API sends its output. One
 example from WP.com used `shutdown` I think.  This was pretty annoying to
 work around.

 I would actually​ prefer to remove these headers entirely, because I don't
 think we should be exposing this information about the site.  They were
 originally introduced during the migration from WP-API v1 to v2
 ([https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/pull/211#issuecomment-44918175 ref]),
 and they've finished serving that purpose long ago.

 Marking as `dev-feedback` to get a 2nd opinion on just ripping this code
 out.
