Comment (by danielbachhuber):

 > To validate an assumption: I haven't checked this, but I'm guessing the
 last revision ID refers to the parent revision of the published post, NOT
 a revision that is equal to the published post?

 Yes. What you've implemented with the patch is the same as what's already
 in Gutenberg.

 `44321.1.diff` looks good to me. My only concern is that
 `wp_get_post_revisions()` might be too heavy for our needs, but I'm not
 sure whether we have a reasonable alternative (aside from a direct SQL
 query).
