    I suggest to add more "spaces" to your postings (e.g. start a new
    paragraph where a new context begins). They look like one large blob of
    text. This isn't easy to read.

    I suggest to start with a cleanup of the actual way of displaying
    things.

    When the actual startup shows a consistent behavior, a refactoring into
    the possibility to show n ways of status displays can start.
