 Replying to [comment:2 gjaworek]:
 > Thank you for a quick reply, I understand that it could be a feature,
 but I didn't seen it on release notes. I was so used to fact that term
 slugs are quique, that I threated is as bug automatically. I will need to
 adjust my applications now. As I understand from linked tickets, this also
 will be possible to set the same slug for different taxonomies when
 editing old term, notonly adding new one? In 4.1 it is still not working
 perfectly.

 You'll only need to adjust it in your applications if you are using custom
 SQL queries to fetch terms, and depending on the uniqueness of slugs to do
 so. Everywhere in the WP API (see functions like `get_term()`), a
 `$taxonomy` parameter is required, which means that the ability to have
 slugs duplicated in different taxonomies should not cause any issues.
 There will be some related changes in WP 4.2 that *might* affect your
 custom applications - see https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/02/16
 /taxonomy-term-splitting-in-4-2-a-developer-guide/ for more information.

 As noted in my previous comment, the ability to set the same slug for
 different taxonomies when editing is fixed in 4.1.1, which has already
 been released, as well as 4.2.
