Is this a valid argument, though? Surely any end user sophisticated enough to
attempt to troubleshoot a problem at this level will also be sufficiently
knowledgeable to able to type systemd.debug on the kernel command line.
Being able to sandbox debugging output with something as simple as namespacing
seems like it would be great feature, not a problem; i.e.
---debug
+++systemd.debug
makes systemd better, as far as I can tell.</pre>
