Comment (by dd32):

 > The main reason I'd argue to keep the
 `/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/` structure is because that's always
 been (AFAIK) WP's default pretty permalink structure. It's that first
 option to get away from ugly permalinks. I don't see any reason to change
 that.

 This is why I stuck with the classic WordPress permalinks, Most of the
 rest of this discussion is bikeshedding, different people prefer different
 permalink formats for different reasons, and others will strongly disagree
 with those reasons.

 The user still has a choice that they can optionally make post-install,
 we're not locking them into any specific format, simply making the
 experience better out-of-the-box.

 One remaining thing for this ticket is, do we rename the "Default"
 `?p=123` format on the Permalinks page? do we leave it as `Default`? Do we
 want to update the description text?
 > By default WordPress uses web URLs which have question marks and lots of
 numbers in them; however, WordPress offers you the ability to create a
 custom URL structure for your permalinks and archives. This can improve
 the aesthetics, usability, and forward-compatibility of your links. A
 number of tags are available, and here are some examples to get you
 started.
