While I agree with Seth that this is not really necessary: it does not
provide any new information, but just provides the information in a
better looking way. I must admit that it  looks very good for this
particular transaction (where package names are relativly short).

Do you have a suggestion what this should look like for a transaction
that has both short and some very long package name and versions, for
example kernel-module-nvidia-2.6.9-1.667-1.0.6629-0.lvn.1, in such a
way that the complete table still looks nice and that won't be too
hard to implement (ie does not require complex formatting libraries)?

If so I'd be willing to implement this, in order to make yum look a
bit prettier :-)

Greets,
