Comment (by antonvlasenko):

 I've reviewed both Hosting Test Reports
 ([https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/test-results/r59970/ 1],
 [https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/test-results/r60044/ 2]), and the
 related test failures appear to be the following:
 1. https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/test-
 results/r59970/wpmudevbot-r59970-8-1-mysql-ver-15-1-distrib-10-6-18

 All of them are caused by the hardcoded database table name in the
 `WP_Test_REST_Users_Controller::test_get_items_only_fetches_ids_for_head_requests`
 method.

 addresses this issue and is ready for review.
