Comment (by Ipstenu):

 Not being able to use slug is going to mean we still face the same problem
 we have for years, which is people don’t realize you cannot have the slug
 twice... They constantly submit the same slug they use for their premium
 stuff.

 There’s no way to do that? The slug itself is the main issue, after all.

 (Yes, I can override it, but if we can stop them at the gate, or have a
 look up, it would save a lot of drama. Even Automattic has goofed this
 one)
