I don't know about "strongly" but I tend to agree: -m is the right option to use, and if it inserts advertisement, well, that's on purpose, so it's a feature rather than a bug. Stefan PS: We could go one step further and automatically detect that it's CVSNT and it supports -M and automatically use -M over -m, thus defeating CVSNT's advertisement. But this may simply lead to CVSNT using some other means of getting its advertisement message in some future version.
