Comment (by bgamari):

 > I take a little offense with this statement as there were many cycles
 burt by haskell-mode logic tryng to filter out ghc noise, filtering too
 much or too little and requiring update with each new ghc version, new
 cabal, new stack and nix updates.

 Oh dear, I really didn't intend for this to be an insult to those who care
 about this issue. My apologies! I do understand that beginners may be
 overwhelmed by the volume of output that GHC can produce, I can easily
 believe that filtering out this noise is a non-trivial exercise, and I'm
 very happy that people are interested in improving the situation.

 What I had meant to say is that I don't really have a strong opinion in
 either direction; there are good arguments to be made for both defaults
 and there is no solution which will please all parties equally. If people
 want flags to disable various bits of output and they can be provided
 easily then let's add the flags.

 Sorry again for the rather careless remark and thanks for your efforts,
 gracjan.
