I think the idea of having two different command line flags that mean the
exact opposite thing to be even less palatable. If this is an issue, I'd
prefer to remove "-l" completely, or at least ignore it in favour of
controlling logging via the configuration file.

Also, if "-l" means "do logging" which is now also the default, then "-l"
should at best be ignored now.

This is a major release, so this is the right place to make a backward
compatibility breaking change.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?
