It does not take longer time to get a sense for a shorter word. But directory listings have a chance to be readable and submitting URLs has a chance not to get broken if the path names are short.
the length of
/pub/opensuse/distribution/openSUSE-10.2/repositories/source-non-oss/
already is really crazy and a pain for everyone who needs to spell or type it - a full line already, and still missing protocol prefix, hostname, arch suffix and filename.
/pub/suse/i386/9.3/ was a good path naming and length.
I prefer shorter names as well. I always seem to have problems typing in
the longer names and with my Dislexia, I do not always notice the type-o's
I really like the names for the 9.X series. I would really like to see
the names shortend.
Thanks,
