Changes (by adamsilverstein):

 * milestone:  Future Release => 5.9


Comment:

 @peterwilsoncc this change is mainly to fix a bug for posts created
 programmatically, for example with a CLI script.

 This is a bug fix, not a feature so... we can continue to consider it for
 5.9, right?

 > At the moment, revisions can be disable with remove_action(
 'post_updated', 'wp_save_post_revision', 10, 1 );, with this change this
 will no longer be effective.

 Do we recommend that approach in our handbook, or that common practice in
 the wild?

 To disable revisions entirely, I would recommend:

 `add_filter( 'wp_revisions_to_keep', '__return_zero' );`

 Or set the `WP_POST_REVISIONS` constant to 0.

 This approach will continue to work after this change, we can document
 that in the dev note.
