Why should it?
The most important info are the files and the module.

Even if it is important in 99% of cases (i.e. 99 files from 100) the
module is obvious and those extra symbols make me constantly scroll to
see what name is at the end of /en/reference/bla-bla-bla/path.xml

If there is a brand new customized loginfo.pl script (why not PHP,
BTW?) - why it can't be made to display a module name only if it is
different from default? For example (I do know Perl, do not beat me):

You said earlier that it was already decided to split the lists
down... make it happen :)

Gimme da passwoodzzz! =) No, seriously - I just do not know what is
the next thing to do - I've already mailed systems several times.
