Comment:

 Limiting the recent entries query to published posts was done in [5973],
 changing the version accordingly.

 The current patch simply reverts that changeset. I agree with the concerns
 in comment:13, changing this now would make the widget output unsafe to
 cache.

 If someone needs to show private posts in Recent Posts widget, the
 `widget_posts_args` filter can be used for that.
