+1 to editing this. Ideally a tombstone should be left so a reader will be
forwarded from the old to the new URL.

The slug of a post is user visible (as part of the URL, and as part of links that are shared user visibly in IM, email etc.) and thus should be user editable.
Also, specific example of when an event post uses the date in the slug, and then its date changes, you want to edit the slug as well so that the slug doesn't imply the wrong (old) date for the event.
Actual example by @kevinmarks:
Event was moved to 2016-10-26, contents / datetimes were updated, and yet the slug still says (and thus implies) the old / original date of 2016-10-19.
