Why is the default verbosity != 7 ?

[tenox3]

Hi, I'm a long time Armbian user and overall extremely happy. It my default Linux distro everywhere!  Thanks to everyone who is developing or contributing to it! 

 

Every time I pickup a new board and deploy Armbian I have to edit the `armbianEnv.txt` file and change verbosity to 7. The same question repeats in my head. Why is it not the default?

 

Systemd and startup messages spam up like crazy and they have nothing interesting to offer. I do care what hardware did the kernel detect or was a protocol correctly negotiated etc. I personally would have it in reverse, verbose kernel, quiet systemd. But thats just me. Could we at least have parity, if systemd verbose then make kernel verbose too, if kernel quiet then systemd quiet too.

 

I'm trying to understand what was the rationale for having quiet kernel and verbose systemd?

 

Thanks!!
