I believe the output should not be too long to be read by anyone. I understand the warning in 7.5 has proven to be too short, though. For example the initial GDB licensing information (without -q) is too long, I do not see it required by GNU Coding Standards; but the initial text is offtopic here. Thanks, Jan
