Without investigating further I think this is not normal. The 
line above is a warning, not an informational message and I 
encountered read-only states only after errors so far.

If auto-read-only state is indeed a normal state, "normal"
being something like "not a consequence of an error and no
maintenance state being set manually" then the message
above should be set to "I:" beside being suppressed with
"-q" in my opinion.
