Can you elaborate on this??

I personally would favor usage of log.Fatal instead of consequent log.Error and return statements. It is because return statementstend to return while log.Fatal tends to stop the program. Imagine threading situations, where Fatal would be preferred over return's. I'd say this PR will rather degrade the system.
