Message9880

Jeff, I agree with simplicity as the answer here. Although we have long seen this message from sys-package-mgr, and we find it perhaps familiar, even reassuring ;), it needs to be changed to better conform with CPython so that users can reliably script with Jython, including capturing stderr. A good recent example is the use of tox to drive cross-implementation testing in #2325 - small things like extra whitespace or an extra prompt can break such usage.

So please ignore my statement in msg8686, because I believe it was mistaken. Let's fix this please by making it purely a matter of being verbose overall or not, with no extra option needed to configure or implement.
