Comment:

 I get a 404 now too without the title. Though, all my old test posts that
 don't have titles and the `-2` in them still work without returning a 404.
 Whats worse is that my slugs for the old posts are being forced updated to
 `-2` structure if I save, which would break incoming links. I kind of wish
 we had gone with an earlier more backwards compatible patch that allowed
 the URL to be whatever we want them to be and not append junk to the end
 of the slug.
