-y/--yes doesn't usually suppress all output, it just automatically answers "yes" to all prompts.
It would be nice to have a version of -y, which shows normal output (to monitor progress, etc.), but still suppress all prompts.
So, maybe a separate "quiet" flag (-q/--quiet) for suppressing all output (which would also imply -y)? This is how e.g. apt and dnf/yum do things.
