Comment (by sandesh055):

 Ohh, Users are not facing a bug directly but conditions based on the
 "default" key causing an issue sometimes.

 As a developer needs to keep both the condition old one and new i.e.
 compare with 'default' and 'empty' to maintain compatibility.


 Replying to [comment:7 noisysocks]:
 > I tested [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/312 PR
 #312] locally and noticed that it introduces a "Updating failed. Invalid
 parameter(s): template" error when you change the template to ''Default
 template'' and save the post.
 >
 > This is because the posts REST endpoint requires `template` to be `''`
 or a valid template file. It does not allow `'default'`.
 >
 > @sandesh055: Does having the `option`'s `value` set to `""` cause a
 user-facing bug somewhere?
