| Unfortunately. A few simple scripts could be made to shorten the |

We have the script. The script isn't the problem. |

| "NGSCB" is perfectly clear to many Microsoft employees and those with |
| 19 |
| an obfuscation shredder-- it may not be so clear to end users, news |
| 20 |
| reporters and potential critics. Likewise, having a category named as |
| 21 |
| a single letter, for example, might be perfectly clear to the |
| 22 |
| developers and developer community members, but it would be obscure |
| 23 |
| to everyone else. |

That's ok, everyone else is using the newly committed long descriptions |
| 26 |
that were made for that purpose. |
