but most text displays these days are wider then 80 columns and as user 
i can assure you that i hate nothing more then crippled output when even 
on a TTY i can pipe wrapped outputs through "less" or it even fits 
wrapped on my screen at all

crippeled informations in case of troubles are annoying because you 
don't know if the stripped part could be relevant in your situation 
until you know what's there

this truncations everywhere due switching to systemd where one of the 
reasons i got that angry in 2011
