Comment:

 Maybe.

 Changing the default probably break people parsing scripts eg that look
 for the mass from TwoPunctures (see:
 https://bitbucket.org/simulationtools/simulationtools/src/7d99c8ebdc26a7cc01db97ca4b0d82976e25eb2a/TwoPunctures.m?at=master#TwoPunctures.m-87
 and eg `StringMatchQ["a Foo", "Foo" (* Foo is pattern *)] -> False`).

 Having said that though: yes, I would think that changing the default info
 (and warning format) might be nice but will take two releases. Namely
 changing the defaults to:

 * Cactus::highlight_warning_messages = no
 * Cactus::info_format = "human-readable time stamp"

 the latter is a bit verbose since it contains the full date in the form
 "Wed Jun 30 21:49:08 1993" which is overkill and somewhat hard to parse
 while we would likely be fine with the HH:MM:SS part.
