 implement it all by myself (and dealing with compatibility risks) just to
 add my custom button in there. Especially if there is already
 `post_submitbox_start` hook - so, IMHO, `post_submitbox_end` would be just
 a sign of consistency.

 I think the main issue at hand is that there are broad plans to re-frame
 this workflow in the future and every hook we add means yet one more thing
 we have to support for backward compatibility. Every time a hook is added
 anywhere in core, we have to weigh not what it might be used for now, but
 how it might be used in the future and how that will affect our ability to
 support that usage.

 Adding a hook is easy, supporting it from now until the end of time is
 another thing entirely :-)
