I would change this: s/would print a long UUID-including file system name/ could print long UUID-including file system names/ I usually try to make the first line of the NEWS entry a summary, like: df avoids long UUID-including file system names, in the default listing. On recent enough kernel/tools, these long names can be used, pushing second and subsequent columns far to the right. Now, when a long name refers to a symlink, and no file systems are specified, df prints the usually-short referent instead. cheers, Pádraig.
