Indeed, but I don't want version numbers updating till we know what
sequence things will go upstream.
BTW I've not seen a justification for breaking the existing format here
yet as opposed to simply appending new data to the end of the status
line.
mirror_status first calls the log status function and then adds on to
that. If we want to do what you are proposing, we would move the log
status function _after_ the DMEMIT's for mirror and it would only print
out a char for each log device indicating status. We would have to
remember that STATUSTYPE_INFO and STATUSTYPE_TABLE would call the log
status function at different place (one after it's own DMEMITs, the
other before).
