There is no (practical) limit to Summary: strings.

I'd question whether the policy implemented in rpm lint is sensible.

The policy is likely trying to ensure that Summary: can be displayed
by installers and not line wrapped at 80 column terminal windows

I'd argue that Summary: is useless info in most cases these days, because
either
	the package has been around forever and Summary isn't informative
or
	the package is brand new and Summary: isn't sufficiently informative

Again minority/conrarian POV: not disagreeing.
