A few quick thoughts....
• It's up to the literary executor to decide.
• The author's wishes have no force, beyond whatever influence those wishes have on the literary executor.
• Some scholars and fans alike are going to want to see the material anyway, no matter how badly or well it's written, or how much input an editor or second author has.
• As with anything in life, caveat emptor. No one's forcing anyone to read posthumous works.
