Definitely not for 24.4. Afterwards, someone could try and look at the issue in more detail, but it's risky, since it's a fairly low-level primitive called from many different packages. We'd have to go and check how all these calls would be affected. > I understand, that these messages are important to many users in an > *interactive* session, and that changing or removing them would be > backwards-incompatible, but do these messages really matter in > a *noninteractive* session? I find it's usually a bad idea to try and do things differently based on whether the session is interactive or not. It's much more frequent that the deciding factor should be "called interactively or not". Stefan
