Subject: bug#25418: Proposal to quiet file size modified warning

I see two different phrasings here: "warning" in the source message vs "error" in Paul's answer.

Quickly looking through the source:
- should it be treated like a warning? If yes, why does it not use warning() and/or set an exit code ("2")?
  And if it is a warning, then it should perhaps conform to the man-page which states that all warnings are
  suppressed with --quiet.
- should it be treated as an error? If yes, I do not see an exit code ("1") being set. Is that an oversight?

Ouch, why would one want to suppress that diagnostic? It sounds like a serious error.
