There is no indication that they will remove apps wth more than 50 characters, I think their algo will handicap people trying to stuff keywords in their search. I'm noticing it in the last few days. Also the 50 character limit seems nature to implement during review. The App Name field in iTunes connect will shortly cap at 50 characters and the next time you want to update, you will have to comply with that.
