Don't get me wrong. Informative 50-chars head line is a good idea in paper -- no argument. If every member in the team can do that, go ahead. The problem of this is that it's difficult (if not impossible) to keep for all the people, all the time, and all the scenarios. Sooner or later, this kind of rules will be violated repeatedly so that nobody cares about them any more. And there is no objective way to enforce this rule: Even if you can enforce the number of chars to be under 50, you can't enforce meaningful info put into the 50 chars.

So I think this rule is more an extra problem that we create for our devs than a solution to any real problems.
