Comment:

 This was discussed during a bug scrub today.

 It was decided to take it off the 6.0 milestone to allow time to make a
 more considered decision around the two points that have been debated
 above:

 a) only post statuses of the type requested should be returned, or
 b) sticky posts are returned regardless of the query made,
 `ignore_sticky_posts` prevents that.

 As the ticket touches WP_Query, it's not possible to rush a decision on
 this.
