Comment (by nacin):

 Based on a [http://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-
 dev&day=2013-07-10&sort=asc#m639676 long IRC conversation], this should
 indeed be adjusted.

 [23842] should be reverted. It restores current API behavior. While it
 will no longer create a revision for initial wp_insert_post() calls, the
 proper way to "prime" a post is with get_default_post_to_edit(), which is
 what core does in both UI and XML-RPC anyway.

 Also, yes, wpdavis is right that this causes major importer headaches, as
 the import_ids don't align. We should have a unit test for that.

 I'm working on updating unit tests and such to handle such a revert.
