Comment:

 > In any case, we may want to prompt users to look at their permalink
 settings just after they install. If they change their structure a month
 later, their old links will be broken since we have no mechanism to
 redirect from either of the suggestions above to a new arbitrary
 structure. (The current default uglinks don't create this problem because
 we can always make a match from uglinks).

 We already kind of prompt users, via a "Change Permalinks" button on the
 Add New Posts page. I don't like default pretty permalinks for the reasons
 described above (they will become broken on change). Beyond that, there's
 been talk about prompting them as part of an introduction process: see
 #11651 for the welcome screen concept, and #11008 for "Hello World"
 welcome post concept.

 That all said, I'm going to close this as a duplicate of #6481.
