 current trunk, i think this commit is the culprit:
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/commit/a5b0312f1e263772cdcdf2c03b3fa25acaf7acf0


 is broken, as it changes the "known" default behaviour, we have a quiet
 large installation at https://www.krone.at  (600.000+ posts)

 the commit - if we upgrade to 5.0 - would force use to find and modify ALL
 wp-json call's that we are making (which are a lot).


 i can get the idea of `_fields` - but in that particular case it think
 features like this should be bumped in the `v3` version namespace.


 and about the _fields, maybe a graphql would be the better alternative, if
 one has problem's with rest.
