Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1365312

Description of problem:
Pulp id naming convention creates names longer than 255 characters not allowing for content views to publish/promote

Refer to discussion on bugzilla for more information from a pulp perspective. Is there anything that can be done from katello to improve the user experience in this case?

How reproducible:
easy

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create content view
2.Use a name of 254 characters
3.Try to publish

Actual results:
Content view fails with following error in the logs:
Validation failed: Pulp is too long (maximum is 255 characters)

Expected results:
Content view to publish/promote

Additional info:
The pulp id consists of the Organization name, lifecycle environment, product, repository name, and content view version. The content view can be less than 254 characters for this to work, but the concatenation of all these can produce names longer than 255 characters in length.
