Comment:
`-hide_banner` is the bane of those providing help. Making it the default
would make providing support more difficult and less efficient. It hides
important and useful information.
We require the user provide the full command and the complete console
output when they ask for help or submit a bug report. Quite often we have
to request this information resulting in an unnecessary delay. Making this
the default could result in yet another step, more information requests,
and more delays. We would have to explicitly mention `-show_banner` for
every single help request and bug report. Making `-hide_banner` the
default would result in more work for users and developers, frustrated
users, and fewer questions answered.
