We would need to follow the usual deprecation procedure of: 1. introduce "-g", leave "-v" as a deprecated alias 2. wait a long time 3. drop "-v" If you want to start a discussion, producing a patch for (1) is probably the best way. If your plan is eventual consistency between options of various commands, an even better start would be listing the existing non-verbose uses of "-v" and making aliases for all of them. -Peff
