Change the slug automatically when renaming a blog post about blog-plugin HOT 4 CLOSED

I'm not entirely sure that this would be a good idea, at least not without some tweaking. I would agree with the above behaviour for unpublished posts.

However, imagine that you're running a high-trafic site and change the title of an old, popular post that went viral. There will be many links to the original url, using the original slug floating around. If the slug is changed, then all those links will be dead. If your proposal is implemented, I think it should be with the option of automatically creating a route so that the old url will still point to the same post.

I also agree with @mossadal. If any more convincing arguments can be made, then we'll revisit this.
