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" ...
