In GUADEC they are 5' and they rock. In the last Summit they were also 5' and people was haoppy about them too.

Winning TV ads last no more than 30 secs. Top of the Pop songs rarely go beyong 4 minutes. Most TV headlines and reports keep their duration well below 5 minutes.

Most important things can be explained in less than 5 minutes (example)
