Comment (by F J Kaiser):

 Replying to [comment:4 dd32]:
 > Regular users should never have to "Flush their rewrite rules",

 The problem started with the famous »Even a caveman can do it«. WordPress
 has a big community of people who don't know how to code. But since this
 sentence nothing holds them back. (Ok, it wasn't only that sentence.)

 > and they should instead be shown the proper way to add rewrite rules
 and/or how to register post types and taxonomies in such a way that it all
 just works.

 That's a problem of documentation. I added a lot to Codex, but sometimes I
 think, that basic things could be noted directly in the UI - visible for
 admins only - as well and would make things much easier. At least this is
 just a thought.

 > What is the problem that actually needs solving here?

 Well, it's not really a problem. I wrote »problem« (with quotes) for a
 reason. And I didn't reopen the ticket. There're just a lot of questions
 out there that end with "Ah! I didn't know where I could flush the rules"
 and "Ah! Ok, if I shouldn't flush the rules programmatically on every page
 load, how should I do it then?".
