The problem is that >> some packages are enabling it by default But YOU can still disable it by default, by writing your packaging automation tools to supply --disable-silent-rules as part of calling ./configure, and/or writing an appropriate config.site. In other words, the person running ./configure STILL has the option to choose YOUR desired default, even if it is different than the package author's desired default. The use of silent-rules is an option, not a mandate. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
