And the string is obviously in the binary (duplicated on every library
at that), so it's not about hiding anything.

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.

Bug reports are usually required to use debug loglevel, so they should not be affected with the latest version.


So, I'm going to have to say this is not a good enough reason, in my opinion.

Alright.


I made the latest version print it on verbose level or higher (and
always with --version), which may be preferable. But i nonetheless don't
have a strong opinion about this change.

See above.
