 "Enter title here (optional)" on those formats that would get an auto-

 The title input is very helpful, Sometimes I need to create a unique post
 title ever for 'Status' format.. the post title not only shown in the
 front-end it's also helpful in the back-end and custom queries.

 In also showing Asides and Status title in the front-end is depending on
 the theme, I can't say that if theme show the Status title is wrong...

 My opinion is:
 1- Show the post title input with a opacity and "Enter title here
 (optional)" place-holder.

 2- When the user publish the Aside/Status post with an empty title, leave
 it blank even in the database ( The database should only contain the user
 input not something that auto-generated ).

 3- Hook to the get_the_title filter to show the feedback title ( title
 based on the first X chars of the post content ) only in the Admin/Feeds
 and cache the result.

 I really don't like when WordPress make a strict rules about how I must
 design the theme or mange the website.. So keep it free as possible.
