I think it is a solution which most of the critics of quiet-build could live with and users still won't see build output by default. If a user passes -v and as a result sees build output, I think he won't be confused or angry about it.[1] Best regards, Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn [1] http://xkcd.com/242/
