 Replying to [comment:59 peterwilsoncc]:
 > I agree with @helen's earlier [comment:36 comment #36] that `(no title
 supported)` is unhelpful. It was a wise decision to revert back then and I
 don't think it's wise to commit with the same text now.

 I'm bumping this from the 6.9 milestone.

 @peterwilsoncc @wildworks

 There are several copy discussions going from [comment:12 comment #12] to
 [comment:24 comment #24].

 Personally, I don't understand your POV.
 Aki is talking about the front end. I'm assuming we are talking about
 Editor? Or the real front end?

 Currently we have a problem: if you save a post without a title, it will
 save it with “Auto Draft,” which is seriously confusing. Firstly, we are
 trying to fix it. Then we will add some bells and whistles to make this a
 wonderful and massive user experience. But the current user experience is
 feeble with the current status. So we are trying to “postpone” this fix
 again, for another year, instead of opting to introduce a minor
 improvement.

 Let's put it this way: Now we are going in the driveway with one blown
 tire. The current patch brings the substitution tire, which is not the
 official tire, but it's good to get to the garage. @peterwilsoncc proposes
 to continue a little more with the blown tire and destroy rims.

 I still believe we should push it into 6.9 and keep it open for further
 refinements. Going from bad to meh is not always the worst thing.
