 I had a client who wanted a different excerpt length than the default (55
 words). I quickly realized that the only way to do it currently is to copy
 the existing wp_trim_excerpt() function, remove the default filter, and
 add your custom filter.

 This would be made much simpler by simply applying a filter on the
 $excerpt_length variable. Diff attached.
