I agree that the full output is neither often needed nor suitable for the
system report. Therefore printing only some information, which can be even
more compact as shown here:

Hm, from a technical point of view this should still be okay? At least
grep and sed is also useful for such (trivial) cases.

If it breaks in the future, we should be able to fix it. If we have never
used it by then, we can also remove it.
