Problem/Motivation

Our Composer plugins say lots of things that they maybe don't need to say in normal, non-verbose mode.

Proposed resolution

Evaluate what we need to see normally, and what we can display using -v or -vv.

Also, Composer itself sends output on the error channel, and some of our plugins output on stdout, so we should figure out what's the best way.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

Changing some of our messages to stderr is a good idea.

#3092563: Avoid overwriting .htaccess changes during scaffolding > security problem give us more control over recognizing when files have changed, which could allow us to reduce notifications about scaffold files to only runs where the scaffold file contents actually changes on disk. If we did this, I think it wouldn't be necessary to change these messages to be verbose-level only. It is useful to see what is being scaffolded, just as composer install shows what is being downloaded (but not if it's already present at the right version).
