 * I recently upgraded to WP3 and was shocked with the autodrafts. TBH, it’s making
   a mess. I’d like my post-ids to be in an incremental fashion (I disabled autosaves
   and drafts because of that) but I noticed that WP 3 doesn’t let me to do so by
   making autodraft automatically. So I downgraded to WP 2.9.2 but as a WP user,
   I’d like to have the updated one. Is it possible to have it disabled? due to 
   my searches, the answer is “NO”, but it’s making restrictions and etc.
    So am
   I supposed to use the older versions? Are the coming to updates going to make
   the same trouble for me? Thanks

 * Autodrafts are in place so that when you add images and other media to brand 
   new posts, it has a post-id to attach to. Otherwise it can cause problems.
 * If you are using pretty permalinks, no one will really see the post-ids except
   you. I think you should not worry about the post-ids being incremental and stick
   with the 3.0 upgrade!!

 * I know what autodrafts are used for, but still insist on getting the incremental
   post-ids. Is there NO way to disable them? They really bother me, as autosaves
   do.

 * So this doesn’t work in WP3 then? I haven’t tried it.

 * Nope, Unfortunately it doesn’t work. Urgh, I’m actually upset that I can’t use
   the new 3.0.1 version. I thought everything COULD be customizable in wordpress.

 * hmm. It seems that wp is insisting not to make performance about this one. seems
   I have to migrate to blogger then.

 * I have the same problem **iamtest** had. Now, I’m still on 2.9.2 since I don’t
   think migrating will be easy, so I’m still trying to find a solution.
 * The question is: is it the simple fact of loading the admin index page that triggers
   the autodrafts creation or is it the Quick Press section of the dashboard? If
   I uncheck the Quick Press in the dashboard screen options, will it still keep
   creating autodrafts?
