If it's too broken to complain, then the behavior is the same with or
without this patch.
I'm just referring to the assertion that the Unix model is to be
quiet when everything is OK. Maybe it's a personal preference, I
guess.
No difference. If every day you get dozens of messages saying "No
output from 5 commands" then you'll never know that a problem
occurred because the message is the same.
And more than likely, you just delete the messages every morning
without reading them anyway -- which is worse.
So the net effect of this change is zero, except that you can disable
getting useless messages and thus if you do get e-mail you know that
a problem has been happened and you won't ignore it.
