My primary concern is that it's available in the JSON/YAML but having
it in tabular would be a nice bonus, but I agree that we're running
out of space. Looking at a random cloud¹, I see a couple of options:

 1) extend the Rev column to be either $CHARM_VERSION-$REV or
    $CHARM_VERSION/$REV, falling back to just $REV (as it is now) if
    no $CHARM_VERSION is specified.

    (This is obviously not backwardly compatible, but then I don't
     think people should expect backward compatible from tabular
     format.)

 2) What is 'Notes'? In any event, either put it before or instead of
    'Notes'.

But as I said, if neither of these appeal, I'm fine with it just being
in the JSON/YAML status.

Thanks.
