The formatting also happens to be very non-compliant with DevRef
6.2.2, and Policy makes the 80-character limit a "should certainly",
so this must surely count as more than wishlist.

Just trimming it back to "systems integration framework" would do, but
shortening an advert just gives an ineffective advert - instead I
would recommend using something that (a) uses the standard term for
this sort of software but also (b) includes a hint at Chef's special
characteristics:

 Description: recipe-based configuration management system
