Yeah, that would make things consistent. I am still mulling over Ævar's idea of preparing the messsage in such a way that, if committed without editing, the title becomes identifiable but too ugly to force users consider rewording (and the "identifiable" part helps the "rebase -i" process), while making it easy to discard the instruction for the user who do want to edit. I think that is the right approach, if we can find one. What has been floated on the list during the discussion is not there yet, but I think the approach is a good one. Thanks.
