I'd see that as a completely legitimate concern. Also - if a better way of organizing the paludis output would make it easier to find what you're looking for I'd think that would be a constructive piece of criticism. It does seem a bit odd to ask somebody to imitate the emerge formatting of the output just to say that it matches. If somebody wants to create a script to do it they can post it online so that everybody who cares can run it and not have to look at evil paludis output... :) Now, if were were talking about data that was an input to some kind of automated routine then that would be a different story. However, in that case we might start by xmlifying it or something...
