Well, the point is not really about "simpler", but "might change/be i18n'ed" and thus "is not predictable". However, this is really a side issue to this report. The non-machine-readability was originally bug 1197754, but it applies to lxc-copy as well. If/once the message is stable, I can parse "^Created ([^ ]+)", but this still isn't a nice API.

This might seem trivial, but is highly relevant when trying to parse that message to find out the cloned container name.
