Comment (by helen):

 In [changeset:"34670"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="34670"
 Edit: Remove the redundant "View Post" button-link and link the sample
 permalink.

 Previously there were two persistent "View Post" links on an edit screen:
 next to the permalink and in the toolbar. This would then become three
 links after a post was published or updated, as a link is also included in
 the admin notice. This is a lot of redundancy and visual noise for a flow
 that is not your primary action upon starting to edit a post. The "View
 Post" link next to the sample permalink was particularly bad because it is
 styled like a button, but unlike a button, does not keep you on the
 current screen.

 Because the permalink is now linked, there is no highlighted slug that you
 can click to edit, but rather just the "Edit" button.
