Taxonomy title logic should be switchable

Just had to do a lot of digging to find out why the product category titles had all disappeared after upgrading from 2.26 to 2.28.

Turns out that some logic was moved which causes the title to be hidden (we have Commerce Kickstart Block disabled):

I don't understand why titles should be hidden at a core code level? Can they not be hidden in only the default theme if that is what you require? (We are using a different theme).

Otherwise this functionality should be switchable as a setting somewhere. I have had to comment out the function in the taxonomy module for now.
