Strange, i though we are coding for fame and glory ? :) But seriously... You see these messages only when you load the module. On a non-testbed-machine it is once a boot. I would not call that polluting the logs. On the other hand on a testbed-machine you see these messages when you load and reload the modules. I treat these messages as debug messages. When I develop a module i put versioning info there, and i know if I loaded the correct module or some previous version.
