 Replying to [comment:62 wildworks]:
 > Applying the patch causes the title to change from 'Auto Draft' to '(no
 title supported)' on the frontend for the post that doesn't support the
 title. This is a more serious problem for me.

 Yes, I can agree with you that this must be fixed. But it can potentially
 display "Auto Draft".

 > For example, the_title and get_the_title do not consider whether that
 post type supports titles.

 The problem here is this. I think we need to fix this by adding another
 ticket because it's correlated but not strictly related. This is a wrong
 behavior in the front end (showing a weird title "Auto Draft" when no
 title is supported) vs. showing a title in `the_title` and `get_the_title`
 when no title is supported.

 But the discussion of @peterwilsoncc is that he doesn't like `(no title
 supported)` because, as @helen said, it feels slightly misdirecting (but
 he is also disregarding that currently people are seing `Auto Draft` which
 is not slightly misdirecting but deceiving).

 PS: The last 10 times I opened a ticket for something like this, they were
 entirely ignored and ultimately closed. So I will wait to see a conclusion
 on any of your sides.
