As Dan reminded me, there is also the problem with a big number of packages, for example with 100 targets or more. This can happen when there is a box you don't upgrade often. Or when installing a big group like gnome or kde, with all their deps.

Yes, in those situations there would be a long display list. However, I also think it would make a list of 100 packages more readable, since each package would be on its own line. The current output can be a pain to read when you have a bunch of packages being displayed, since it is so compact. Of course, most of the users probably do not pay much attention to exactly what packages are being installed anyway, so this is most likely a moot point.
