No, the facts of life involve birds and bees.. and Mrs. Garrett.

Let's not go to extremes. An 18 character limit or whatever is more than
mildly reminicent of 8.3 DOS filenames. Surely there's a nice middle

On my FC4 box that's nowhere near a complete install of all the core

$ rpm -qa | wc -L
52
It'd be nice if rpm and yum could display 52 characters or so.
