 Yes, currently "saved" in a text editor = "published" in WordPress. If
 you're suggesting to add revisions to drafts, I see how this can benefit
 people that edit a draft over a number of days and might want to check an
 old version of it. However this is an enhancement (feature request?) and
 some people would be opposed to having more revisions.

 Generally drafts are overwritten and the multi-step undo is in place to
 correct any mistakes like in most text editors.
