Is this a serious question? I will assume it is and give a straight answer.

However for some users it clearly is a problem. If it wants to write to STDERR to report something exceptional then that's different, but as I said originally, routinely clobbering STDOUT with junk is unacceptable. > Banshee does the same, just on a slightly larger scale.
