Comment (by aduth):

 I love the 'shell' animated loading indicator you added, however the shell
 always shows 4 drafts and if you have fewer it looks odd when loading.
 Maybe only show one here or possibly no shells at all? probably not worth
 the effort of a count query to determine the actual number of drafts.

 Yeah, though it's a similarly jarring effect when there's no initial
 placeholders, then replaced with drafts after the API request finishes. I
 think the best approach would depend on what's most common case: do most
 sites have many drafts? A couple? None? I suspect this might be "none",
 but would be best to back up by stats.

   Ideally we should add a `hide-if-no-js` class to the meta box, since the
 feature won't work without JS. I think we have to do that via a filter.

 Good call. This is already assigned to the Quick Drafts form and list
 heading, but I think it should apply to the entire meta box. I imagine
 with the latest patch, placeholders will be shown forever if JavaScript is
 disabled.
