It would display the message after `startup-echo-area-message'.
I think it would be intrusive.

I've changed it to `inhibit-message' instead, which will include
the message into *Messages* buffer but will not be displayed.

I think EXCLUDE-REMOTES would be a better name,
the INCLUDE-REMOTE name would give the impression that it does not
delete remote projects by default.  `project-forget-zombie-projects' by
default includes remote and no remote projects.
