I'm glad everyone feels like responding. Now we just need someone to do
it. :)

I agree. I don't like init being this verbose. The patch sat for a long
time, and I felt that it would be better to bring it in, and see it for
real, rather than just let it sit there.

In the interest of being lazy, I would just enable the current code path
with --verbose, and otherwise print nothing. I think the proposal here
is nice, but requires effort. So someone would need to actually step up
to do the work.
