Comment (by nacin):

 > I know mw_newPost uses get_default_post_to_edit to get an auto-draft to
 work on before calling wp_insert_post, but I'm wondering if that's
 something we really want to copy. Auto-drafts get cleaned out after seven
 days, but that can leave a significant amount of cruft behind in the
 meantime if wp_insert_post fails.

 We'll probably move that off to cron cleanup at some point (#19663), but
 either way, don't worry about garbage collection for auto-drafts, as
 that's a general core quirk, and not something XML-RPC should work around.

 get_default_post_to_edit() is necessary in part so you do not publish a
 post before attaching all of the associated data, in particular taxonomies
 and post formats.

 See #18812 for XML-RPC-specific reasons for why get_default_post_to_edit()
 is now used here, and see #16192 for how this was a bug in Press This.
