Yes. Nothing new you are telling. And could we now please stop arguing
of WHY I'm reporting this and switch to take care of the actual bugs? TIA.

Anyway: When I ask a tool to be silent or keep quiet I want this tool to
respect this. Everything else is a bug; that simple.

Example: If you use your hammer to get a nail into the wall you don't
want that hammer to ask for confirmation before hitting your finger when
you specially asked for --just-do-so mode.
