Comment (by quozl):

 In 0.108 rename to blank or empty is possible for the journal list view,
 the detail view, and the activity title.

 In 0.110 rename to blank or empty is possible for the detail view, and the
 activity title.

 A partial solution landed.  The user experience is inconsistent.  As a
 result, the learner may fail to discover the rename feature.  Recovering
 from an accidental activity title change is more difficult, because the
 action requires the detail view.

 Looking at the history;
  * https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/pull/655 for journal list view, was
 merged,
  * https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/pull/663 for journal detail view, is
 not yet merged.
  * no fix for the activity title changed when the activity is running,

 My opinion is the bug seems like censorship; why can't the learner use a
 blank or empty name for a journal object?  It is an unnecessary
 restriction on expression.  Why can't Sugar just do what it is told?  The
 learner can always discover how to rename again.

 So I'd like to see the first patch reverted, and instead patches made to
 the Help activity explaining the rename to blank feature.

 I've reverted the patch in my OLPC branch.
