Just don't. I think you missed the point hard and I don't want to know
where the ricochet ended.

First of all, the QA's issue is not really about verbosity of repoman.
It's more about developers who ignore repoman output and commit broken
ebuilds which QA needs to fix afterwards. '--nonag' would mean that
some developers will introduce even more warnings for others...

Secondly, AutoRepoman is already filtering repoman's output. If Patrick
disliked a particular warning, he'd filter it already. He doesn't need
easy-available repoman option for that.

Thirdly, I'm pretty sure I had a third argument but I forgot what it
was. But it was totally convincing, I'm sure of it.
