 I have a problem with the interaction of WordPress and some of my plug-ins
 (SimpleTags, WP-o-Matic, and Feedpress).  It was not a problem before 2.7,
 and it may affect WordPress independent of my plugins too.

 In short, I have permalinks set to default setting (?p=123).  If I make
 any adjustments to the post, such as manage tags with SimpleTags, it ticks
 off a post ID slot (but it does not generate a new post).  For example: if
 last post is ?p=123, and I modify tags on five existing posts, the next
 new post will have the id ?p=129.

 I do not like long post URLs, and prefer the default permalink setting,
 but this behavior is annoying and a bother.  In short, it very quickly ups
 the post count without generating any new posts.  I have 320 or so posts,
 but my current post count is 1034.  I believe the issue started with
 WordPress 2.7, and so I am identifying it as a WordPress bug (and not a
 plug-in bug).

 Is it possible to fix this behavior in future updates so that the post
 count function works exclusively to enumerate new post IDs?
