I agree with both proposals. :-) The output of ‘herd status’ is meant for humans to read, not for machines to process, so it makes sense to make these changes IMO. For machines there’s a well-defined protocol that can be used, so we should do our best to make ‘herd status’ useful to humans. If you want to give it a try, this is all happening in modules/shepherd/scripts/herd.scm. Thank you, Ludo’.
