 engine optimization. If so, I think we don't really care about the length
 of the title of an admin page, isn't it? 🙂

 I would suggest reconsidering this. The `<title>` tag on pretty much any
 other admin screen follows this format:
 {{{
 [screen title] ‹ [site title] — WordPress
 }}}
 so it seems a bit inconsistent not to do the same on this screen. Titles
 can be longer than 64 characters, so we're not strictly following that
 recommendation anyway, and might as well keep using the same format for
 consistency.

 See [attachment:"52314.6.diff"].
