#3761: Verbosity of g.extension when using the -f flag
------------------------------+-------------------------

------------------------------+-------------------------
In `g.extension`, in the `def remove_extension()` function, there is:
{{{
if force:
grass.verbose(_("List of removed files:"))
else:
grass.info(_("Files to be removed:"))
}}}
and
{{{
if force:
grass.message(_("Updating addons metadata file..."))
remove_extension_xml(mlist)
grass.message(_("Extension <%s> successfully uninstalled.") %
options['extension'])
}}}
This is not correct in my humble view. In case of using the `-f` flag,
the messages will be emitted regardless of any successful or non-
successful execution of the `remove_extension_xml` function which in turn
can be misleading.
I suggest these messages to be integrated in the functions for which they
report whatever they report. I have no solution to propose yet, but this
ticket serves to highlight the problem.
