Good idea. Here’s another idea:

The button starts out named Preview and works with a preview.

If the review or commit-queue flag is altered then the button is changed to “Publish” and works without a preview.

Thus if I like the preview work flow, I don’t set those flags until I get to the preview page. If I like the faster work flow, I can set a flag and then push Publish.

One type of person who is not served by my proposal is someone who wants to add comments only and not set a flag but wants the faster work flow.
