Comment (by markjaquith):

 Changes to the sanitizer that make it LESS restrictive shouldn't break
 links.

 If I have a post slug of 'this-slug' ... after this change, it would still
 be 'this-slug'

 For posts with existing slugs, on update, the existing post slug is passed
 through the sanitizer... not the post title.

 So if on January 1st, 2006, I posted an entry with the title "Stop. It's
 Hammer time." ... the post slug would be 'stop-its-hammer-time' and after
 the update it would stay the same, even though there are periods in the
 title.  Periods would only go through for new posts.

 At least, that's how I'm reading the code.  changes that make the
 sanitizer MORE restrictive would obviously be bad and WOULD change
 existing slugs.
