I like seeing the compilation level output as well, particularly when it doesn't match the default. I propose that we keep the warning for bytecode formats that are too new - that is, as Hideki reported in #829592 - and use another check to report when the bytecode format is older than the expected value. The new check could use an informational-level lintian tag. Cheers, tony
