I would argue that the default behavior should not be a debugging/trace oriented type of output. Spitting out the name of each target traversed in a dependency graphs is not really default behavior, it is -debug or -trace behavior. I wouldn't complain too much if it were part of -verbose behavior. But at the very least, it should not be part of the default behavior. Having to specify a -logger command line argument is not the right way to go about it, in my view. -logger would be more appropriate when you need some special functionality, such as when you are trying to debug things or trace things, etc. Just do it in the default case...
