So as I mentioned with some commits, I *do* find it important to
preserve the convenience of grepping for a single word to from 20
test reports at once and visually check all statuses (and in this
sense I like your preference for aligning the words to make them
more readable). But having to guess some grep context and see the
output garbled clearly does the opposite of what we were looking
for in my opinion. Also, I think there's no need for having 5
separate patches to add/remove a line feed. Better discuss an
output format that matches everyone's needs and change it at once,
this will make the patch more reviewable than having individual
changes like this.

thanks,
