It is a shift in the behavior of a side-effect though. Anyone who set up metric math based on log values here would be in for a surprise when they try to look at their reports.

This is definitely one of the gray areas when deciding whether or not to consider it a breaking change.

I agree it’s grey-area, but I’d lean towards calling it a breaking change, as it’s not too hard to imagine setups that would rely on a particular stdout format (e.g. some kind of log-parsing to generate an HTML report from an e2e test orchestration suite). But this is a major update, so breaking is fine anyway.
