I asked the question because IME shorter sentences tend to make it
easier to understand complicated issues.  So if you can break a long
sentence into several shorter ones, it is generally advisable to do
that.

There's also a special consideration for NEWS: if the user reads NEWS
in folded mode, a shorter heading will allow easier skipping over
stuff that is not interesting for the user.
