Yes, as several people have pointed out. I *did* briefly make the change so -q always returned "success", but had to revert it because it caused infinite loops in some legitimate configurations (thanks to Jamie Lokier for reporting this). With the change to default to idemptent behavior (modprobe foo when foo is already installed silently "succeeds" unless --first-time is specified), the definition of -q can be safely changed to mean "ignore this if you've never heard of it"). This is done in 3.0-pre6, now available. BTW, if you had fairly complex modules.conf, you should regenerate modprobe.conf for the 3.0 releases: some cases have changed.
