Comment:

 The plot thickens: --quiet ''does'' seem to work with stuff like --list-
 fingerprint and --hash-password.

 A little poking shows that the log is added in options_init_logs(), when
 it adds the log handler for the entry added in options_validate.  It
 doesn't look at the "quiet" value at all when it does this.

 Easiest way to solve this AFAICT is to make the quiet level a global and
 have it change the behavior of options_validate().

 Have a look at branch bug3550 in my public repository?
