Don't you have any ability to judge that this might be a bad thing?
So far the voting I solicited is 100% in favor of getting rid of what
you did...  Usually that implies it is a bad commit...

: I found src/Makefile.inc1 r134903 / rev 1.444 very noisy, but lived with
: it.  I don't care that -s now implies -Q, except that it still leaves so
: much "noise" like r134903 / rev 1.444 and other output.
: [Why the log message is about 'Unanimous Consent' and not verbosity?]

Because I messed up on the commit.  I also talked to a lot of people
before making the commit, socialized the issue and got buy in from ru@
before making the change.

: I wonder what % build speed improvement quieting that behind 'make -s'
: would give?

I should measure it.  I believe that it won't be that much since the
output is 1/10th the size of the latest commit...
