It just came to my attention through another channel that the 
description column of the packages table is no longer present.

There had been some discussion about how to show relevant description 
information in that column, so I'm surprised to see it go.

Belen, I assume from a design perspective this field was removed as it 
didn't show anything particularly useful? If we have useful data to 
include in that field is there a more appropriate way to integrate it 
into the UI? Perhaps a tooltip? Or an information overlay as has been 
used in other areas of the design?

I'm concerned that if we give the user a list of packages without any 
more information we aren't making it easy for them to build an OS image 
without already understanding exactly all of the components they need - 
thoughts?

Cheers,
Joshua
