Tomaz Muraus commented on LIBCLOUD-371:
---------------------------------------

[~sengork], [~galet] could any of you provider more insight in this?

It seems like we can just remove this check in the driver and the API will throw an error if the name is too long.

We just need to make sure the API exceptions which are thrown in the driver contain all the necessary information (error name, message) so users can find out what went wrong.
