 > https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/8713 - I don't think
 this is feasible since it will cause sticky posts to need to be explictly
 requested which is a change in behavior (it's a bit concerning that no
 tests failed though)

 I want to add that until 6.7.2 the REST API doesn't include sticky posts
 on top. It used ignore_sticky_posts=1 for all `get_items` requests.

 Introducing sticky posts also causes issues in pagination mentioned in the
 ticket https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/63339
