+1. :)

To be fair to Emanuel: our Ports Collection has a long tradition of muting
mkdir's; I cannot give a definitive answer to why, but I guess it does not
add too much of debug info (as something almost always goes into that dir,
and install commands should be vocal of course) yet clutters logs a bit at
the same time.

That said, I believe that better words to describe the best practice would
be "do not mute installation commands (inc. cp/cpio-based); mkdir's can be
muted unless you prefer them being vocal as well".
