I don't understand how this makes the message layout cleaner.  For example, this

@@ -456,10 +458,10 @@ old_11_check_for_sql_identifier_data_type_usage(ClusterInfo *cluster)
                                   output_path))
     {
         pg_log(PG_REPORT, "fatal\n");
-       pg_fatal("Your installation contains the \"sql_identifier\" data type in user tables\n"
-                "and/or indexes.  The on-disk format for this data type has changed, so this\n"
-                "cluster cannot currently be upgraded.  You can remove the problem tables or\n"
-                "change the data type to \"name\" and restart the upgrade.\n"
+       pg_fatal("Your installation contains the \"sql_identifier\" data type in user tables.\n"
+                "The on-disk format for this data type has changed, so this\n"
+                "cluster cannot currently be upgraded.  You can\n"
+                "drop the problem columns and restart the upgrade.\n"
                  "A list of the problem columns is in the file:\n"
                  "    %s\n\n", output_path);

turns a message with uniform line length layout into a message with random line lengths.
What is the rationale behind this?
