Review Comment:
   But we didn't use these messages on CRAN to diagnose anything (and frankly I 
don't think had we generally seen them we would have known what was going on to 
fix if they had been there in the first place), so I'm skeptical about the 
amount they will help versus be noise that is confusing.
   
   If we're going to have them be there, at the very least could we collect 
them up and then dump them only if there's a failure in this process (+describe 
that they are useful only to maintainers)?
