We probably won't be able to force the draft to be cleared when a user with the prevent_accidental_unload preference enabled confirms that they do want to navigate away from a not-yet-finished post, but not much we can do about that. The prevent accidental unload feature isn't going anywhere; in my opinion, a confirmation dialog is a great UX improvement over the all-but-guaranteed heart attack that an accidental unload usually causes.
Also, from now on, we won't be hard-wrapping commit messages at 72 characters anymore.
SweClockers just announced the addition of a native autosave draft feature inspired by the one in BSC! Unlike our feature, it's server-side (an improvement if anything) and loads autosaved drafts automatically (seems like an improvement), but just like us, it autosaves every three seconds and doesn't save very short drafts.
