I don't find the distinction very useful, myself. I just look at it as two short-story categories to tell the truth.
The distinction seems to be consistent (at least in length) in the Hugo nominations, but I always run into examples that blur the lines in the wild: Novelettes shorter than some short-stories, and vice-versa. Oh, well... it certainly doesn't alter my enjoyment of the short form.
