Comment:

 Thanks for the ticket @DarkoG.

 You are quite correct, the `action` name could be better if it was
 consistent on the new and edit posts page. Unfortunately it's been
 different for quite some time now so changing it could cause backward
 compatibility issues with theme and plugin developers.

 `get_current_screen()->base` and a couple of other attributes are in
 common so you may be able to use those to avoid all the additional if
 conditions.

 Due to the back-compatibility issues, I am going to close this off as
 wontfix.
