I'm finding that a downside of the --write flag is that sometimes I forget to include it, and then I think I've updated the DB when I really haven't. It would be nice if all the scripts with a --write flag print some kind of message at the end like "Dry run successful" or whatever if --write was not used. It doesn't have to be those exact words, just something to make it explicit and obvious for me.
