Comment (by magicroundabout):

 I'm not sure if it's allowed to "bump" tickets here, but this didn't make
 it into 4.9 and it seems to have lost some traction.

 I ran into this problem again today. I try to avoid using WP_Query loops
 to prevent stomping on my globals, so I make a lot of use of arrays of
 posts, and I really want to be able to properly do `get_the_excerpt( $post
 )`.

 Can I try to get some renewed interest in getting this closed?

 Thanks
