The REST API treats routes without a permission_callback as public. Because this happens without any warning to the user, if the permission callback is unintentionally omitted or misspelled, the endpoint can end up being available to the public. Such a scenario has happened multiple times in the wild, and the results can be catostrophic when it occurs.
For REST API routes that are intended to be public, it is recommended to set the permission callback to the `__return_true` built in function.

“The WordPress open source community cares about diversity. We strive to maintain a welcoming environment where everyone can feel included.”
With this commit, all occurrences of “whitelist” and “blacklist” (with the single exception of the `$new_whitelist_options` global variable) are removed. A new ticket has been opened to explore renaming the `$new_whitelist_options` variable (#50434).
Changing to more specific names or rewording sentences containing these terms not only makes the code more inclusive, but also helps provide clarity. These terms are often ambiguous. What is being blocked or allowed is not always immediately clear. This can make it more difficult for non-native English speakers to read through the codebase.
Words matter. If one contributor feels more welcome because these terms are removed, this was worth the effort.

Every block has a different set of attributes. These attributes are specified as a JSON Schema object. Previously, every block registered its own block renderer route using its attributes for the schema. This allowed for the attributes to be validated using the built in endpoint validation rules. It had the unfortunate side effect, however, of creating a large number of nearly identical REST API routes, one for each dynamic block. Each registered route has a performance impact. As the number of server side blocks goes up, this becomes more and more of an issue.
Now, we register a single block renderer route and dynamically validate the attributes based on the selected block.

Previously, the REST API would end up deleting each row of metadata and recreating it unnecessarily. This was caused by a type mismatch where the metadata API would always return a string value, and the REST API operated on a typed value.

The `$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA` global was deprecated in PHP 5.6 and removed completely in PHP 7.0. In general, `php://input` should be used instead of `$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA`.
Because WordPress Core still supports PHP 5.6, some plugins or sites may still rely on this variable being present and populated with the expected data. For that reason, occurrences of the variable will remain with updated inline documentation until support for PHP 5.6 is officially dropped in WordPress.
