Basically, we have to develop code and add the log for anyone.
As you commented, even if there are no other developer, we never
guarantee this assumption forever. And also, if added debug message
for only you, you can add them when testing it temporarily.

If you want to add the just register dump log for you,
I can't agree. Once again, I hope that anyone understand
the meaning of debug message as much possible as.
