John, I took a look at it and it seems that if I use '.', perf will remove 
it. Here are two examples:

metrics.json:
"BriefDescription": "Impacted by errata, use metrics instead."

# perf list
[Impacted by errata, use metrics instead Spec update: Errata AC03_CPU_29]

vs.

"BriefDescription": "Impacted by errata, use metrics instead -"

# perf list

Impacted by errata, use metrics instead - Spec update: Errata AC03_CPU_29

---

So, I believe, I probably used the hyphen to make the 'perf list' output a 
little "prettier". Well, I just change to dot and it's fine.

Cheers, Ilkka
