already implemented, see bug Bug 364391.

I understand that you would prefer this. But as i already said, other people
will complain exactly about the URI _shown_ by default. That was the reason to
hide it from the default view. But use can use the -u option to display it.

As for the abbreviation of URIs in the list, we are already tracking that
feature in our internal feature tracking tool, so no need to keep this bug open
for that.

Yes, they need to know, no question about it. It's just not in the default
view. You need to use -u. I believe most people are quite comfortable with
this, since they use the 'repos' command to get the number or alias for use in
--repo option or repo handling commands (e.g. to enable/disable a repo or
autorefresh for the repo). They don't need to know the URI for their everyday
usage, just on special occasions, what do you think?

Can i close this bug now? :O)

OK, thanx.
