Comment (by pbiron):

 Replying to [comment:14 desrosj]:
 > I am thinking that a better solution here may be to add support for a
 new argument within `$postarr` for `wp_{insert|update}_post()` (maybe
 `is_sticky`?) that indicates if a post should be updated to be sticky or
 not.

 > This would simplify this a lot and make it easier to filter the intended
 sticky state going forward.

 That's an interesting idea @desrosj.

 it was hard to come up with a fix that maintained BC behavior.  So, as

 indicated in today's bug scrub] some unit tests will be very important.
