Bug#466138: Is this LVM message actually useful?

Hi,

as far as I can tell, the "File descriptor x left open" message is just
telling the user about open file descriptors the lvm utility inherited and
successfully closed. The --quiet option doesn't appear to suppress the
message.

Does printing the message serve any useful purpose? I'd expect lvcreate,
lvremove and similar commands to be silent when called with --quiet; only
errors should be printed. How is successfully closing a file descriptor an
error?
