Comment (by dd32):

 > It is already passed in, as this is where wp_insert_post gets the actual
 data from. The only change (as noted in the patch) is to add it to the two
 actions.

 Yes, However nothing but the core post fields are used from the array.
 Passing it to functions like this will introduce a reliance upon having to
 (forever) pass the complete $_POST array in. Right now for example, it is
 entirely possible to only pass select fields in (although we don't).

 Where this comes up, is from #18322, As part of switching from the slashed
 to unslashed globals, certain functions which expect slashed data will
 need some special handling. One suggestion which I have seen floating
 around (which I personally prefer) would result in only passing select
 elements through functions like this. I'm thinking of the future use of
 the functions, not just what's easiest today.
