Indeed, it has mildly bothered me for two decades that this happens at
least once, usually twice a year for every machine i maintain.

For an upgrade, having all those lines is not useful.  Even if i made
some mistake during an upgrade, i wouldn't spot it among such a large
amount of noise.

But i never had an idea how to make this comparison more useful for
upgrades without degrading its usefulness in everyday operation.

Yours,
  Ingo
