Is it really necessary to detail locked packages only to ellipsis the vast majority of them?

I would agree in the normal case. But then again, you asked for it with -v ;-)
You could also say in a normal case most people only have a handful of packages locked, in my case being able to see the 5-10 locked packages is pretty useful because sometimes I might only lock something for a few days and its nice to get a reminder. I guess someone decided around 100 packages is around where it stops being useful and allocated a buffer big enough to fit around that amount. You could argue that the verbose option should actually list all of them at the same time you could also make an argument that the number of people with over 100 packages locked is small and so maybe its not worth the complexity of adding further special handling. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
