My concern with this is that we may get a lot of people surprised and
confused by this - "hey, where's all my usual output gone - something must
be wrong!".

But once they have realized how a changed build system works, I don't see any
disadvantage. So, it's just the first time that they might be confused (if
there is some progress and no error messages, I would think they are not
really confused, but astonished that something is new...).


Just want to make sure we don't do this by mistake. It's looking like there is a growing consensus that a semi-silent build should be the default.
