A very likely scenario:
1. user starts emacs --daemon
2. some time later starts an ssh connection to the machine and opens an
X11 frame, the terminal that started emacs --daemon is long unavailable
3. if the ssh connection has a problem, then trying to print a message there 
won't work

What is the downside of printing a message at startup, where it is most
likely to be seen?
