after I had thought about the topic a little bit more I'm not sure if one
would like to go that way. If it becomes common pratice that every
application logs more or less random stuff -via log file, a syslog
equivalent or other means- per default, we might waste tons of io ops and
cpu cycles with often can be used in a better way. It's better to switch
on logging in a more finegrained way.
