| Jun 26, 2016 at 23:38 | comment | added | Tim Malone | @GaryJ That's a reasonable explanation. In which case, assuming save_post was added first, it couldn't be removed for backwards compat reasons. Or maybe save_post was the old name of the function... | |

@JMau Both action are only called in one other place: wp_publish_post(). And there, the same redundancy exists.

Perhaps wp_insert_post was added later as a way to make hook names within functions guessable?
