Correct.

Seems correct too, I agree my commit message was not at it's best.

I wasn't aware of that. I assumed (formatInfoMap.find(format->mbus_code) 
== formatInfoMap.end()) would be very hard to trigger and if it does at 
all, we want to fail loudly.

I am not much aware of simple pipeline handler format's passing - I'll 
take a look to answer the question - "Which default to pick"
