I originally suggested a limit of 150 words. But I think that is to
high. The paragraph above is 77 words, I think that is too long. I am
thinking 50 words makes the most sense.

For EnterpriseDB it would be:

"""
EnterpriseDB Interactive Installer:

This installer includes the PostgreSQL server, pgAdmin; a graphical tool
for managing and developing your databases, and StackBuilder.
Stackbuilder a package manager for the distribution, includes
management, integration, migration, replication, geospatial, connectors
and other tools.

This installer can run in graphical, command line, or silent install modes.
"""

That's it. Any more than that and we are literally feeding marketing
people. That is not our purpose.
