Hi!

The cron runs fetch-crl with the --quiet flag, which suppresses warnings
but prints errors.

The developers considers this to be an error rather than a warning. Do
you not consider this to be a valid error message? Would you rather see
it fail silently?

Could you please explain why you consider the output of an error message
to "render the package unusable"?
