Hi David,
This seems like a bad approach. This can make the print in the kernel logs and
the code both
look pretty awful. I would prefer to have each error that occurred have it's own
print line in
the logs rather than introduce this code for the sole purpose of keeping the
list on a single
print line. I don't see any real downside to having a few additional print lines
in error
scenarios.
Thanks,
Tyler
