I would agree that the existing -quiet argument ought to be fixed, rather than introducing a new option.Now, I saw this coming, because that was the original design decision confusion: should the old behavior of -quiet be changed, or introduce a new option of -veryquiet (which I'd done). So, what do I do now? I think the best idea at this point is to make another patch and submit it as well. This is what I wrote:

I was going to do the same thing, but thought that preserving backward behavior is a better idea. Here's what I'll do: I'm going to submit a new patch, and let the core members decide. Given that this design decision has not been resolved in 8 years though, I don't think that this'll be resolved soon.So I'm going to submit a new patch with the alternative mechanism, and see what happens.
