Yes, it is a generally valid remark but I consider both Gerrit and
Zuul (both of OpenDev) to have the exact same level of trust so did
not modify the approach.
But yes, for anyone trying to learn best practices from this snippet -
please do not, it is far from them. :-)
In general this approach is very wasteful as it causes rebuilding (or
rather rejoining) and reparsing of html, instead of DOM manipulations.
For such a simple table it does not hurt but please do not do it at home.
