Potential Auto Draft leak

Description

Noticed in Wordpress 3.0-beta2-14860.

If you open Add New page for any type of post, default or custom, WordPress creates Auto Draft in the database. Which I guess is expected behavior. But if I leave this page without publishing this post, it still keeps Auto Draft in database. Then if I come to Add New page again it won't use that existing Auto Draft, but create new.

My problem was that I was customizing Add New page for my custom post and thus - refreshing it constantly, so in the end I got over 50 useless Auto Draft posts in my wp_posts table. I think it's kinda potential leak.

They're cleaned up over time. The interval is seven days. I replied to this inquiry over wp-hackers, FYI.
