 Replying to [comment:35 GaryJ]:
 > Since #16687 is now done that stops the basic `/%postname%/` having a
 performance penalty, and r18547 adds the option to the UI, would it make
 more sense for default permalinks to use this most simplified pretty
 permalink format available, rather than something with extraneous time-
 based components?

 What's the rationale for sticking with the time-based format, instead of
 the shorter `/%postname%/` format?
