 > @SirLouen Please don't status war this ticket.

 Aki told that maybe this could be reviewed during the evening `bug-scrub`
 so I re-added it to the milestone so it could pop up during the session.
 But it didn't appear.

 > You mentioned that there was a copy discussion in a few comments that
 came before the decision to revert. That may be true but there was no such
 discussion after the revert.

 Oh, there was no discussion after the revert. @TimothyBlynJacobs was
 simply curious if there was any interaction between `Auto Draft` and
 Gutenberg. And there is no interaction. The concern that @SergeyBiryukov
 brought in [comment:31 comment#31] is not valid anymore because this is
 not considering the title itself.

 > No one is saying that `Auto Draft` is good, what has been said is that
 `(no title supported)` is an insufficient improvement in order to close
 this ticket. Further discussion is required in order to get close to a
 good user experience.

 This is what I mean. `Auto Draft` is a disaster. `(no title supported)` is
 average. Personally, I like it, and @garrett-eclipse @marybaum and
 @bridgetwillard confirmed that is was semantically correct, with only
 @helen somewhat opposing.

 > More broadly I do not love when CPTs do this and have the admin
 interface exposed without coming up with a user-friendly way of
 differentiating items. Not sure if there's also something we can do here
 to nudge them a certain way.

 There was this concern, which I can somewhat agree (CPT with custom things
 tending not to fit in the mold).

 The reality is that a combination of:
 - `(no title supported)` in the Admin interface (following the common
 standard on special titles: `(<informational_text>)`)
 - `No title supported` in the Gutenberg's document bar
 - And removing the title string from `the_title` and `get_the_title` (new
 ticket required for this)

 Will be clutch.

 But all starts with this ticket being merged and finally closed before 6.9
 to avoid 1 additional year of broken `Auto Draft` in no title supports.
