Comment (by bward):

 Wordpress team,

 CPTs are extremely useful. However, the issue of replacing the slug
 shouldn't be difficult next to impossible to accomplish properly. We have
 tried many methods and they all have some flaws.

 Consider this. The standard post type displays a url of:
 domain.com/example while a custom post type displays a url of:
 domain.com/cpt/example

 Notice, the standard post type is not domain.com/**post**/example.

 So why not extend that same functionality to so many of us who need it?

 Thank you.
