[tex-live] Overlength line in TLMGR -- help

The line

              tlmgr option location http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/YYYY
....+....!....+....!....+....!....+....!....+....!....+....!....+....!....+....!....

is about 84 characters long, and in a standard 80-character
window the string "/YYYY" wraps to the start of the next line.
As, in some operating systems, "/" introduces a command
qualifier, this is likely to lead to some ambiguity in
interpreting the output.  Could I suggest that this line
abbreviate some of the earlier options, as in

              tlmgr opt loc http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/YYYY
....+....!....+....!....+....!....+....!....+....!....+....!....+....!....+.

so as to eliminate this risk ?
