That also means consuming more space and UIs can't always fit it in.
I'm proposing this change cause "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3" doesn't
fit in Boxes's collection view when we are showing a status line
("installing" e.g): http://static.fi/~zeenix/tmp/boxes+rhel.png

This is supposed to be name, not a description. We can have a separate
property for that if we really need.
