Yes, we have a well defined format with clear indentation. Just see
my commit message for what I mean.

No, it will not add much. But 100 characters at 115kbps is another 10
milliseconds wasted for nothing.
It may have value to you, but for 99.X % of the users it is completey
meaningless.

Guess you have to, as I will not accept adding too much verbosity in
the boot messages. On contrary, I'm planning for some more patches to
get rid of the uncontrolled rank growth that happened in the past.
