/etc/conf.d/dhcpcd.pacnew question...

My original /etc/conf.d/dhcpcd has the following:

DHCPCD_ARGS="-t 30 -h $HOSTNAME"

The pacnew has:

DHCPCD_ARGS="-q"

I can't find anything about the arguments in the wiki, but I can't imagine that the pacnew is correct for my setup. What does -q do?

-q makes dhcpcd less verbose, it was already in the other dhcpcd4 versions. The noip4all option has moved to /etc/dhcpcd.conf, whereas the other options were redundant as they are the default anyways.

The wiki still has to be adjusted to incorporate the change (there are quite a few wiki pages about it that need to be changed), I haven't found the time for it yet and nobody else stepped up to do it either.
