Any kind of automated builds should have full logs: those things that you're being thrown when your ports fails on cluster. I think "silent rules" idea arose because end-users prefer their xterms to remain more neat (and history buffer easier to scroll). So it's not about testport or bulk, but rather about regular consumers (normal end-users) vs. developers. End-users do not care about the logs, they just want to have working things. Developers know how to redirect output if when they want their xterms to be clean, and they know how to read logs. Back in the old days, we were not doing a good job with binary packages, so practically everyone had to use ports and build things and see the logs not everyone really wanted to see. There days, it is not that huge problem any longer, so arguably verbose builds should just be the default. We actually could've just enabled it and wait for reaction. Quite probably, little to none will follow. ./danfe
