[Yum-devel] [PATCH] This one is much more contraversial ... we prefer to overflow 7 repoids so we don't have to wrap 4 names.

[James Antill]

 Again, best case is that when we fail we'll fail by overflowing just
a few large repoids (Eg. local installs or rpmfusion*) ... thus. grep
still works, for those who refuse to use better commands ;)
 Possible worst case is generating much more overflows than we would
otherwise.
