Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 In [52921] `term_exists()` was modified to use `get_terms()` rather than
 make a database query directly.

 Searching by name is sanitized in `WP_Term_Query`.

 develop/blob/4a9f5fe3be47914b3f2b30aaf863761335cf1ad2/src/wp-includes
 /class-wp-term-query.php#L536 (source code ref)]

 Is this still needed?
