Description
When you're editing an existing post (or page), there are two 'View Post' links on the editing screen. One in the admin toolbar and one next to the sample permalink.
When you edit and save a post, you get another 'View Post' link in case two wasn't enough for you.
The 'View Post' link (button?) next to the sample permalink is redundant and I think it should be removed. Thoughts?

Although it is a redundancy, I believe having a View Post" link somewhere within the Edit screen is a UI gain. Although its current location is definitely undesirable - "View Posts" is quite unrelated to Editing a Permalink.
I'd like to suggest to move the View Post button to the Publish meta box. Although "View Post" is not technically a "Publish" action, saving a post and viewing a post are very related activities. This would allow users to hit Update/Publish and immediately be in the vicinity of "View Post." Thoughts?

- Component changed from Administration to UI
- Keywords ui-feedback added
I would like to keep them all. No harm in any of them. But if one have to go, remove the button close to the permalink.
