Sounds reasonable to me; ‘show-what-to-build’ could take the verbosity
level as an argument.  For ‘guix build’ and ‘guix system build’ we’d
keep the highest verbosity level by default, but for other commands, we
could choose the more silent level.

So in effect, it wouldn’t display anything upfront, only the size of the
stuff downloaded right?  Plus maybe the list of things to build?

Thanks,
