User "ret" for the return value like everywhere else in the code base.

I'm guessing this was stdout previously so you could --noconfirm and
just have the output stderr emailed to you if non-blank. Now output
gets put to stderr always.
Whhat I would like to see... with --noconfirm, do not try to get the
tty. Why do we need to make sure the question is seen if it is not
being answered.
Without --noconfirm, try getting the tty and fall back to stderr.
