That seems much more useful. Right, as always, it is about sane defaults, and "clean" isn't any sane default to print, ever. If wanted, tools can support --verbose and print all their stuff, but there is no case to clutter the console with nonsense like "clean". We don't print "OK" for all other tools as well; nobody should see that noise when all is fine.
