 Replying to [comment:28 bobbingwide]:
 > Note: I'm currently having problems when I introduced "pending" posts
 with the same slug into the scenario.
 > The existence of the pending post seems to prevent a visitor from
 viewing the previously published post.
 > It gives a 404 when you click on the permalink for the existing
 published post.

 I've raised #35131 to address this bug, suggesting one solution would be
 to ensure pending posts don't get the same slug as an existing one.
