The problem with this is that all programs then need to be modified  
to make use of it, and it is difficult to read. Another option to  
consider is sending the extra data as telemetry values, in which case  
the findU telemetry features can be used to graph it (and support  
exists in various ways in other programs as well), but it is less  
readable than plain text.

If all you care about is human readable text, status is a good place  
to send it.
