 Replying to [comment:5 Joen]:
 > The alternative would be to make this a Posts-list screen visual change
 only: if no title is set, use the first n words from the post and end with
 an ellipsis, but otherwise keep the title metadata empty, the cpt slug
 unchanged.

 From what I understood of Matt's and Anne's report, it's more of a visual
 change, not an attempt to auto-generate titles. The consequences of that
 (IMO) are that **it should remain clear that the post lacks a title**, and
 that the excerpt/preview of the content is just that: a preview, or a
 placeholder.

 I'm not a designer, but I think the solution ought to look a bit more like
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/65022/show-excerpt-in-
 compact-view.png Stephen's concept], but on a single line (to honour
 Compact View). It could be a string of text that tries to fill the
 available space in the row's cell but gets clipped so as not to interfere
 with the other fields (Author, etc.).
