I think I'd be happy with longer titles, since that's an artificial limitation separate from how we vote and judge submissions.

If posts have unnecessarily long titles enough to bother, they'll be systematically downvoted a little more and fall out of practice.

If the system wanted to put a hard limit on wordiness, it should have a good reason why!

We're all wasting a little time on inefficiencies otherwise.
