Well, we should handle the noise in the same way Linux does: on the one hand there are switches for noisy (-v) and quiet, and on the other, all utilities provide comforting messages for the newbie by default, which more experienced hands, justly horrified by so much need for calming insecurity, know how to send to the bit bucket for automated or cron run processes via a redirect to /dev/null.
So perhaps we can just let each user decide which level of messages he/she wants to see ('error', 'status', 'warning'), and expand the list of possible types.
