Personally, I would prefer the whole line to be justified. But if a long
word happens to come up by pushing everything out of whack, then it
should hyphenate the long word so that spacing stil looks even.

Set a threshold. If 25% (or so) turns to spacing, then hyphenate
conservativly so everything looks reasonable.
