There's another couple of instances in console and the if{down,up} scripts.
There may be reasons why these were left alone - I've only done a simple
grep, not analysed them yet. Also, I'd prefer the instances in modules were
removed in this patch, rather than the cleanup patch - that way all the
stderr suppression removal is in the same place. That's really picking nits
though.
Thanks,
