Yes, I'm starting to think it's OK. The dropped MPI code mostly just has the effect that when several nodes print status at once, their output may become interleaved to an unreadable mess. To mitigate that, you need to print all of a line including the '\n' in one call to printf or puts.
Another issue is that Jumbo's output can be very long, with decimal percent-done and the ETA string. I have mitigated it a little by defaulting to ISO-8601 time format in john.conf. Maybe we should try to find more ways, like omitting date if it is within 24h and so on.

Sure, as soon as I see it. I will wait with re-adding MPI-specific code to status.c until things have settled. MPI stuff in the rest of the tree is simple and isolated so shouldn't be much trouble.
