Yes, this is definitely a bug, thank you.

I'm not quite sure whether this message should go to stdout or stderr.
If it is a useful output, then it is the first case.  If it is just a

The message in its current form was introduced along with personality

I wonder is there any script that relies on the current behaviour.
