Yes quite right, but standardization of output is nice for coherence and
to give a more professional unified feel.
Do you have any preference between the two? There seems to unfortunately
be a mix between the two styles.
Perhaps the official development guidelines could be adjusted to steel
people towards one standard output format on this?
I'd vote for the "SERVICENAME SERVICESTATUS: Informational text" format
like "DISK OK: / is 50% full" ...
