Comment (by helgatheviking):

 I'm flattered! Even if I didn't ever think that tickets could be
 'enjoyed'. I've been revamping one of my plugins that relies heavily on
 quick/bulk edit and have come to realize that those areas need some
 love... particularly more hooks/filters for developers. Unfortunately, I
 don't know the first thing about backbone so I don't know that I'd be much
 use there.

 Pertaining to this issue... so are you saying that admin hooks/triggers
 will not be added in favor of a possible, eventual overhaul?  It seems a
 shame to lose out on some hooks while that maybe happens.

 All that said, my digging did eventually bring me to the revelation that
 bulk edit is processed by a loop that hits `wp_insert_post()` so actually
 the ability to save bulk edit details doesn't require ajax at all and can
 run on the exact same `save_post` routine that quick edit and meta boxes
 already use.
