Right, I guess having a ridiculously large number like 60 can't hurt, as
you anyways will start out at the top of the menu.

OTOH, I'd be fine with reducing it to 40 to restore some sanity here.
I mean, we also now provide a user-option for this.

How about:

"Maximum length to which entries in the 'yank-menu' will be truncated."
