Comment:

 Hi @grvrulz, thanks for jumping in. A few things here:

 * Your patch fatals due to a missing parenthesis, please test your
 patches.
 * As it stands, your patch attempts to hide the entire permalink area, not
 just the button when editing a post.
 * Some people may still want the default shortlinks, which means they need
 a method to turn it on (via filter).
 * There are two functions hooked in by default - `wp_shortlink_header()`
 for a PHP header and `wp_shortlink_wp_head()` for an HTML link element.
 What happens if these are removed by default?
