Comment:

 Neither of you have addressed the issue in the bug.

 1. I use the post/page IDs to easily track which page I am updating.
 Disabling Post Revision is NOT applicable here.

 2. "Post IDs are used internally for a number of things. They are not
 guaranteed to be consecutive."

 Because "Post IDs are used internally for a number of things",  it does
 NOT mean an efficient SQL programming practice is not necessary for this
 basic WP functionality to work correctly.

 If SQL code works correctly, the post/past IDs indicate the actual total
 number of posts/pages in a given site. Currently, the post IDs are twice
 as many as the total number of the posts or pages.

 This is a bug whether the Post IDs are used for internally or otherwise.
