A not-immediately-obvious abbreviation (b for "build")
We have the term "components" instead of "android-components": there's a lot of "components" throughout mozilla, it's tough to know that this is for android
We can't fit a -g suffix like other workers, forcing us to either be inconsistent or to now update the other worker
The PR is blocked on us agreeing on the perfect shortening of the name, which wouldn't be as big of an issue if we had more space
TL;DR: can we increase this max limit? What are the downsides to having it be ~100 characters (spitballing)?

A great example is this PR, which has:
