[Yum] RFE: check-update formatting

When I do a check-update I get:
Name Arch Version Repo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
aalib i386 1.4.0-0.fdr.0.6.rc5.rh90 fedora-stable
dia i386 1:0.91-0.fdr.5 fedora-stable
faad2 i386 1.1-0.fdr.3.rh90 fedora-stable
flac i386 1.1.0-0.fdr.10.rh90 fedora-stable
....
Note that the formatting is ugly. The "Name" field has too much
space, while the "Version" field doesn't have enough, causing the
"Repo" field to not line up. Yes, I'm being picky, but better
formatting would be nice.
More importantly, could you show the currently-installed version as
well as the new version? That'd make it easier to see whether a
repo (fedora, for example) is updating something I already got from
it, or if it wants to update something that was provided by RH. I'm
likely to update packages that are already non-RedHat, but I don't
usually want to blow away a RedHat package for a Fedora (or other
repo) package.
Please CC me on responses, as I'm not subscribed to the list.
