But long filenames are a fact of life. They're more descriptive, and
people like to use them, hardware limitations be damned.

So rpm makes a decision to display more hash signs than filename. That's
nuts, isn't it? It could just as easily display something like this,
where each hash stands for a 10% increment.
# rpm -ivh xorg-x11-driver-video-radeon-1-2.i386.rpm

If the hashes were so dear, you could have a display like this, which
gives you much more room for the filename (over 70 chars).

Same for yum, I imagine.
