I'm going to have to say this is actually negative value, and say I dislike it. I find it quite useful to print by default, in terms of debugging, finding issues in logs, etc. It also means (as noted elsewhere) that bug reports no longer include this info by default. So, I'm going to have to say this is not a good enough reason, in my opinion. > I made the latest version print it on verbose level or higher (and > always with --version), which may be preferable.
