Right. It's painful enough already having to walk some users through
"remove 'quiet' from your boot command line" when diagnosing "my

even more hidden is going to raise that barrier further.
I wonder why that was ever there in the first place? I doubt that sending
output to the console has a significant effect on the boot time. If people
don't know what the messages mean, they are just going to ignore them
anyway.
