On 01 February 2002, Guido van Rossum said:

I could see three levels at most:

- verbose, tells you about everything it could do - default, only tells you about things it does and not about things it skips - quiet, only tells you about errors

+1 from me.

The Distutils' current level of verbosity stems from my desire to see exactly what was happening in the code at the development/debugging stage. That's obsolete and should be fixed. I like Guido's idea.
