Yeah, *only because you said VERBOSE*. When we implemented the current
elog level scheme, we designed INFO as non-suppressible so that it would
mimic the previous behavior of VACUUM VERBOSE.

If REINDEX had a VERBOSE option, it would make sense to put out the
messages as INFO when VERBOSE was used. But it doesn't (and this is
not a request to add one). Without VERBOSE, I think it's utterly
unacceptable to force the messages out regardless of client_min_messages.
NOTICE was a reasonable level, maybe LOG would be a better one. But
not INFO.
