* reset: silent for some commands, verbose for others?

Looking at the reset's command third form:
reset [--soft | --mixed | --hard | --merge | --keep] [-q] [<commit>]
* --soft, --merge, --keep are silent.
* --mixed prints "Unstaged changes after reset: ..."
* --hard prints "HAED is now at..."
If all of those commands move HEAD, shouldn't all of them print "HEAD is
now at..."?
Why should only --mixed print the list of unstaged files? e.g. Isn't it
useful for --soft to give a list of "Staged changes"?

I would say not, as you would use "soft" only when you _know_ what you
have in the index is what you want, and more importantly it does not
change what is in the index, unlike "mixed" variant.
