Yes please, sounds better.

But notice that there is actually a difference: all the debug info
goes to stderr, and the "listening" message goes to stdout.
You can actually silence all QGIS server internal debugging and
logging info by redirecting stderr to a file or /dev/null, you will
get only the output from the application which goes to stdout.

That was what I had in mind when I designed it.
