Yes, but not moreso than, say, bsd-style ps accounting, or, even better,
ktracing init, etc.  The point is, paranoid sysadmins are gonna log stuff
anyway - we might as well help by providing tools to do so.

We already do in the form of "-d -d -d" so I don't see the problem in
adding an option to finetune what's logged.
