Could future versions of sa-update please be a little more vocal?
Like maybe "no new updates found | loaded xxx new updates | error xxx"
Exit codes are not evident when simply typing sa-update on the command

It is the Unix Way for commands to be silent on success. You will
understand why when you have hundreds of cronjobs running every night
(or every hour, or every minute) and you try to check your email.
Any verbosity added to sa-update should be only at the behest of an
extra argument. Such preserves the sanity of Unix SAs everywhere.
