Comment (by SirLouen):

 Replying to [comment:30 jorbin]:
 > Unless you can demonstrate a way that the behavior of the rest endpoint
 and WP_Query are returning different results besides the fact that there
 are different defaults for sticky posts, it is working as expected. I've
 pushed up a few test changes that show they are working the same.

 If you go to #63360 you can see a plugin I've uploaded, that clearly
 demonstrates this. I've separated into a different ticket, because the
 real issue is `WP_Query` not this. Current unit tests are incomplete.
 Before adding new unit tests that contemplate this, I have uploaded that
 plugin for first-line testing.

 But still, I left this ticket because you need to do something before
 6.8.1 RC1 and as I say, the safest bet is a regression here.
