Comment (by bradyvercher):

 Replying to [comment:56 johnbillion]:
 > The post slug can still be edited by enabling the 'Slug' meta box in
 Screen Options. This might even be a preferable UI for your plugin because
 it doesn't suggest that the slug is used in a publicly accessible
 permalink. Let me know what you think.

 It actually is a publicly accessible permalink since it maps to the CPT
 archive, which is why the existing UI works well. Would it be possible to
 get a filter to enable that section manually instead of cutting off
 access?

 It's not the end of the world if the slug meta box has to be used, but
 most users don't know it even exists or what it's used for.
