Necessary

Since the disable REST filter was so wisely disabled *sarcasm*, this plugin is a necessary tool. It’s unconscionable to provide a whole new huge attack surface with the REST API, provide a filter to disable it and then suddenly remove that filter. WTF. Millions of WP sites running 4.7 and 4.7.1 are now defaced because of hubris by the core developers. Years of work to improve WordPress’s reputation for insecurity undone by one irresponsible decision.
