Comment (by markoheijnen):

 I have made those consideration and the only issue I can see is Jetpack
 since it's not obvious that it's using the XML-RPC for sending/receiving
 information. Maybe some other plugins do the same but in general they
 build custom endpoints for their needs.

 Even if we disagree that we can't change the current filter then a new one
 should be added. I'm fine with your idea of having a filter that has the
 XML-RPC or REST-API as a argument. And yes, the XML-RPC error that we
 return today, still should be there. For the REST API it would be hiding
 the exposure of the API.
