Comment:
The documentation needs to be updated, including the FAQ. Since this change is very use visible and affects debugging, it should also be announced on the Cactus mailing list, and we need to make sure it is mentioned in the release notes.
We could also check for SILENT in the Makefile and output an error message if it has been set, or we could set VERBOSE (if it is not set) from SILENT (if it is set), so that we remain backward compatible for some time.
Some other thorns may check the value of SILENT; I know that e.g. Formaline does. These thorns need to be updated, unless we keep a variable SILENT around for compatibility.
