Comment:

 This has been reported and closed previously in #39408 and #38244.

 If a theme wants to use `widget-title`, then they just have to supply the
 `before_title` when they register the sidebar, like Twenty Seventeen
 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/706daad00dd92feb2663f66d42c9fd465acda9b1/src/wp-
 content/themes/twentysixteen/functions.php#L161 does].

 I think adding a secondary class name in the default `before_title` just
 adds bloat for the sake of consistency, and it could introduce backwards-
 compatibility problems if there is any CSS selectors for other elements
 that have the `widget-title` class.
