Comment:

 The whole thing with the variable in the `src/xmlrpc.php` file is, is that
 the variable is unused in WP.

 To move forward there are three options:
 * Remove the variable all together as it is unused.
 * Rename the variable.
 * Leave as is.

 As the variable is unused in WP core, both option 1 and 2 feel like a
 pretty big break.

 This is different from the REST API situation where there was a function
 in place already which people should have used instead from the beginning.
