I am fine to do nothing here unless the buildfarm says something.

That's not a problem, now.

Still, the current style is not a pattern I think we should spread

would easily mix up queries with pattern checks. The practice I'd
like to encourage is something like the attached, to make clear that
there is no risk to fetch incorrect logs.
