Comment (by westonruter):

 I like Option 2 because it opens the door for additional statuses, like
 Submit for Review (Pending).

 I know this is just a sketch, but instead of “Switch button state” I think
 it would be something like “Saving changeset will:” and then you decide if
 it will Save Draft or Publish (or eventually Submit for Review). Or it
 could just be “Status” like on the edit post screen. The default would be
 Publish, and so a user would only switch to Draft if they explicitly want
 to create a long-lived draft. In that way, it would maintain existing
 usage patterns for users who are used to just hitting “Save & Publish”
 after a quick change. My only hesitation there is I think there has also
 been discussion in Gutenberg about adding a second click behind Publish to
 prevent accidentally going live, so right now in Customize Snapshots there
 is a “Confirm Publish” button that appears as well.

 At first I was thinking there should be a “Schedule” option in addition to
 “Publish” but actually I like how you have it here in that you can supply
 a future date either when saving as a draft or publishing, as then you'd
 be able to save a draft with a future date but you're not wanting to
 commit yet to it going live accidentally if you forget about it.

 One other note: “post” should be replaced with “changeset” in the mocks.
