As of 1.13+, -q will suppress logging output from Julia, not just suppress the start-up banner.

In particular, this prevents notices from the loading system about any (serial) precompilation (see JuliaLang/julia#61064) from clogging stderr (as requested by @vtjnash).

As of 1.13+ this will suppress logging output from Julia (specifically
the loading system doing any pre-compilation, see
JuliaLang/julia#61064).

Ehhh I don't think that's a good idea, knowing that something is being precompiled is very useful information, especially on clusters. Is this just for the Julia tests? If so, could they pass -q in the exeflags?

@vtjnash seems to be concerned that will have behavioral consequences (JuliaLang/julia#61064 (review)):

Can you at least make sure Distributed and Test add the flag, so we don't get regressions in PkgEval or HPC startup behaviors?

I don't know enough about Distributed to have an opinion personally (I just want to get these messages back for normal users)
