what verbosity option?
./manage.py: error: no such option: --verbosity
./manage.py: error: no such option: --verbose
Given that dumpdata dumps to stdout, any extra chars would 'corrupt' the dump,
and the human readable 'status' chars would get lost in the dump. So I am not
sure --verbose would be good here, given that --verbose generally runs the app.
How about --dry-run?

I'll clean it up. Should the clean up be a separate patch?
