 When you schedule a post for future publishing, there seems to be no easy
 way to change your mind and to publish it immediately.

 To reproduce:

 1. Create a new post and click on "Edit" next to "Publish".

 2. Pick any date in the future and click on OK next to the date.

 3. Click on Schedule.

 4. Now, try to publish the post immediately.

 As far as I can tell, the only way to immediately publish a scheduled post
 is to change the schedule to sometime in the very near future - like five
 minutes from now.

 However, it's a bit of a hack and many users are likely to either not
 think about that as a possible solution, or to spend some time looking for
 a proper solution and become frustrated.

 I suggest we add "Reset schedule" or "Cancel schedule" option when you
 click on Edit next to Scheduled in the Publish box. For example, see this
 very crude mock-up:

 Note that there were several other related tickets - #8368
 #7833 #8737 - but it's not entirely clear if they are indeed referring to
 this particular enhancement.
