   any idea how we want to truncate?  Its super easy to just do something like chopping off all the characters after some size N.  What I've seen to be pretty popular is to have something like "myreallylongteststringtotruncate" be turned into something like "myreallylong...ncate". 
   
   Since our current padding max length for package name is 70 characters, we can reserve say, 67 for the name (to give a 3 space padding between the end of the name and the start of the publish state field) and then break up the same such that we do something like always printing the first 54 characters, 3 periods, and then the last 10 characters of the string.
