Comment (by greenshady):

 +1 to this idea.

 I tend to lean toward using a function within the theme between `<title>`
 tags.  Using `add_theme_support()` and having WP automatically put the
 title in there is great for backwards compatibility until you look at
 child themes.

 If a user overwrote `header.php` within their child theme but their parent
 theme updated to use the new functionality, the user would have two
 `<title>` tags.  If we just create a replacement function for
 `wp_title()`, this won't be a problem.  The user will still use old
 functionality if they overwrote `header.php` in their child theme, but at
 least they'd only have a single `<title>` tag.
