Comment (by ibenic):

 These could maybe done with 2 possible workarounds:
  - hide the shortlink button, enable it through the Settings > Permalinks
 or Settings > Writing
  - hide/show the shortlink button through the Screen Options

 By doing that, users who really need the shortlink can easily enable it.

 What do you think about this solutions?
