Comment (by justinsomnia):

 Filosofo, I guess I saw 2-3 birds (title-less feeds, busted wp-
 admin/edit.php interface, and human unreadable post_names) and figured it
 would be easier to kill them with a single stone (auto-generating a
 title), rather than having to track down every place the existence of a
 title is expected and then dynamically running something like my
 {{{generate_title_from_content()}}} function.

 I think the behavior change that I've proposed is a good one that should
 be the default, but I agree with markjaquith's suggestion that there
 should be a filter + plugin available (which I will happily write) to
 disable auto-generated titles.

 I'm not a WP filter expert, but I'll look into creating a patch that has a
 filter which can be used to disable title generation via a plugin.
