I consider this also normal. Without investigating further I think this is not normal. The line above is a warning, not an informational message and I encountered read-only states only after errors so far. If auto-read-only state is indeed a normal state, "normal" being something like "not a consequence of an error and no maintenance state being set manually" then the message above should be set to "I:" beside being suppressed with "-q" in my opinion.
