It is quite possible that some testers, who are pushed for time, may
now feel less inclined to jump through more hoops to find which
packages are relevant to their own testing since you see a set of
lines with code numbers that do not relate to package names - which
possibly could lead to less packages being tested and given karma (and
we can well do without less testing at the moment or into the future)
- on that basis alone it would be a good idea to get the package names
info back into the set of links/lines that appear in the generated
postings again - it would be worth some effort going into it since we
already are short of testing!
