It does provide new information (package sizes) but more importantly it
helps make the details that are already there a bit more legible which
is honestly becoming and issue as more things get tacked on to the end
of the package name (a bit too James Joyce for my tastes).

Good question. I have a couple of idea regarding formatting for large
package names and i will slip out another email regarding my suggestions
this afternoon but im unfortunately pressed for time this morning.

Id love to see it and would be willing to help.

Another good issue. Let me ruminate for an hour or so to attempt the
most elegant solution. Thanks for the good feedback and the open
attitude towards improving yum.
