Please don't use such long titles in the future.
Since the title appears in the URL, it's not possible to change the URL without causing the post to reappear in RSS feeds. I'll let you know if this ever fixes in the codebase (a simple solution would be to truncate, from the RSS feed only, the part of the URL that appears after the unique identifier; but this would require a codefix, so I'll let you know if the maintainers get around to it, or if someone sets up LW on their linux machine and submits a codefix).
Automatically truncating URLs might be a bad idea. It could be kinda embarrassing if the URL ended up getting automatically truncated to "The Craigslist Revolution: a real-world application of torture"
meh. There are arguable benefits to this approach as opposed to using the full title or a short numeric code, but it's neither settled nor terribly important.
Fix the system, not the users.
