Are there plans to use modules with debug messages enabled on production
systems?
IMHO, the debug messages are primary needed during development and
when fixing bugs. I am sure that developers will want to enable many
more features that will help with debugging and which will be disabled
on production systems.
I expect that Google will not release only the single binary. They
should release also the sources and build configuration. Then
developers might build their own versions with the needed debugging
features enabled.
Best Regards,
Petr
