Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 Replying to [comment:29 rachelbaker]:
 > @adamsilverstein I am interested in your thoughts around the
 `wp_dashboard_recent_drafts()` function.  Looking at
 [attachment:38342-4.diff] the echoing output here seems out of place in a
 php function.  Any concern about the back-compat break of losing the
 `'dashboard_recent_drafts_query_args'` filter?

 Good point @rachelbaker, I missed the removal of the filter. I think we
 would need to add that existing filter via a callback on a rest api
 filter, similar to what I am doing for Press This.

 With the goal of achieving something to demonstrate best practices of
 working with the API endpoints in core, I would like to  propose we start
 with a much simpler patch that only seeks to replace the post action of
 the form with an API callback, then I think we can continue refining the
 draft post list part in 4.8, and trying to address some of the issues that
 we have run into with dates and backwards compatibility.
