Comment (by mnelson4):

 This was discussed today in Slack:
 https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RQC26G/p1534439759000200

 Takeaways: @kadamwhite and  @nerrad (maybe @timothybjacobs too?) were
 opposed to adding a new field, because

 > I’m 👎 on the flag, feels like we shouldn’t need it. Looking for prior
 art from other API’s :)

 (from @kadamwhite)and

 > I don’t think the flag is self-explanatory enough

 > And it feels like we’re exposing WP insufficiencies in the endpoint with
 a flag.

 (from @nerrad)
