This was one of the versions proposed when we were implementing this upstream. We ultimately chose the one proposed, primarily because it is expected that truncation will occur e.g. on 80 char ttys, and it is better if the description is truncated, rather than the unit name. Also, in the 'name' format, the name is the only thing that is displayed, and I think this is the format is the most useful. It is then nice that the 'combined' format is an extension of 'name', and not something completely different. On the console, the unit name part is highlighted, so it's not so wall-of-texty as in the example I pasted.
