 > About the functionality. We don't want to save a post but we want to
 create a new revision for a specific post. That can be put live when
 needed. It's for loading the content into the site without needing it to
 be saved. A little bit what core does now when you writing a post for a
 long time and it saves when you are writing.

 Are you referring to the autosave behavior? I'm not sure why that warrants
 an entire new method (which must be maintained in perpetuity) instead of
 just adding a flag to `wp.editPost`.

 These new methods look awfully similar to the existing post methods, and I
 don't yet see a clear advantage to increasing the maintenance and
 documentation burden when the same could be accomplished with simple
 filters/flags on existing methods.
