Dear all,

as a maintainer who turned on verbosity on his build logs, I would be fine with
either implementation, together with the message that we (as a project) would
like verbose logs on the buildds unless they cause problems for instance with
their size, that is, a “should” recommendation.

I think that the best way to see which of verbose or noverbose is to be chosen
would be to go through the soft release goal or release recommendation that
Matthias advocated.  Once the mayonnaise thickens (once the recommendation is
followed), then it will have its place in the Policy.

That of course does not prevent volunteers to work on the wording in advance if
they feel so.  But the critical step is to induce other developers to follow
the idea.

Have a nice day,
