Changes (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 * focuses:   => rest-api


Comment:

 I don't see how the XML-RPC logic is any different than the REST API
 logic. The request object isn't available immediately, notably for
 authentication. They may be relying on the raw post data to do a signature
 check.

 WooCommerce does something similar to this, but they use
 `WP_REST_Server::get_raw_data()` so they wouldn't be effected:

 logic still holds for someone wanting to get the raw body before the REST
 request is available or they intentionally want to get data for the global
 request.
