 In 2.6 Beta 2, it looks like if I go to the Post Edit Screen and start
 typing, pretty soon it will auto-save. So far, so good.

 But if I decide I want to abandon this post, there doesn't seem to be any
 way to cancel without having this post saved behind the scenes. If the
 auto-save is going to become permanent without me having to click "save"
 or "publish" at least once, then there needs to be a "cancel" button, to
 allow me to abandon what I was doing. If I click through to another page,
 I litter my back end with abandoned drafts. I have to go to the Manage
 Posts screen, check off these abandoned drafts, and delete them.

 I just tested in 2.5 and it looks like that was the behavior there too.
