Most of the people I know are running with debug logging turned on for
this reason, which is clearly bonkers. There was discussion at the
design summit about trying to promote meaningful debug messages to info
messages so that deployers wouldn't need to do that. I don't think its
progressed much though, as we've all be working on other stuff.

However, to answer you actual question -- I'd support patches with only
added logging if that logging was helpful.
