Comment (by subrataemfluence):

 @SirLouen, I completely agree with you. This check should be built into
 the core of WordPress since it makes no sense to publish a post without a
 title. Here is what I propose:

 File location: `gutenberg/packages/editor/src/components/post-publish-
 button/index.js`

 Modification:

 {{{
 import { select } from '@wordpress/data';

 export class PostPublishButton extends Component {
    ....
    ....
    render() {
      ...
      const { select } = wp.data;
      const rawTitle = select( 'core/editor' ).getEditedPostAttribute(
 'title ) || '';
      const cleanTitle = rawTitle.trim();
      const characterCount = ( cleanTitle.match(/[a-zA-Z]/g) || []
 ).length;
      const isValidTitle = characterCount >= 5;

      const isButtonDisabled =
           isSaving ||
           forceIsSaving ||
           ! isSavable ||
           isPostSavingLocked ||
           ( ! isPublishable && ! forceIsDirty  ) ||
           ! isValidTitle;
      ...
    }
 }

 }}}

 I have added a check for an input length of 5 characters. This can be
 changed or left out. Furthermore, I have truncated the input text, keeping
 in mind that although the consecutive five spaces will likewise validate
 the check, they will be semantically empty.

 Let me know what you think!

 > Although there is this classic editor plugin to help switch to classic
 editor capabilities, I believe that this can be solved in core. A check
 should be in place in the editor to save and throw the corresponding
 error.
