This is where I disagree and why I raised the bug originally.

I asked for /more than 50 titles/. I didn't get all of them. Thus my request
was not honoured so it should not 200 OK me. It wasn't a success in my  eyes
and I would prefer to have been told to alter my request so that I can get them
all. The warning is not obvious enough and can easily be overlooked.

If I'd requested just 50 titles and got them all back that would be a success.

As a developer an error code would have made this more clear to me - this type
of thing allows me to think about what happens when I don't get the full
results and improve my code (e.g. using 2 requests to get 100 titles).

Fundamentally I prefer strict apis to fuzzy ones - there is less room for error
when writing code.
