Comment (by joehoyle):

 > wp_dashboard_recent_drafts() should be deprecated, and the docs for
 dashboard_recent_drafts_query_args moved to
 rest_filter_quick_draft_query().

 Added in 38342.12.diff - however I've not depracated a function before!

 > There's no fallback for the post title being empty,

 Added in 38342.12.diff

 > Are the 'object' === typeof attributes.content and 'object' === typeof
 attributes.title checks necessary? These attributes should always be
 objects.

 I changed this in 38342.12.diff to be a fair bit simpler. We just take the
 value in the `render()` method now - you are right, those fields always do
 exist.

 > Generally speaking, the JavaScript feel overly verbose, I found it
 tricky to keep track of code paths in my head, which shouldn't be
 happening for such a simple feature....

 I tried to make things a bit simpler in the latest patch by not declaring
 our own models and collections, instead using using
 `wp.api.collections.Posts` etc which I think is better for example
 purposes too.
