7 If you take it like this:
8 69% of respondents want to see build output when -v is given (52+17).
9 28% disagree with that.
10
11 45% don't want to see build output when -v is not given (28+17). 52%
12 disagree with that.
13
14 Among the people preferring to see build output, making -v control the
15 default seems to be considered an acceptable compromise. So wouldn't
16 that be great? Hiding build output by default, while still satisfying
17 most critics of this idea.

23 I already stated that I would leave the call to zmedico as lead
24 developer of portage. Giving him the arguments and the data to make the
25 decision, but watching whether his reasoning is sound. That means
26 clearly saying where it is based on fact and where it is based on opinion.
27 (I wouldn't mind if he made an entirely opinion based decision, as long
28 as he didn't claim it to be fact-based)
