No! Please no!
We have some of this on Xe and I'm hating it. I'm going to try to remove
from there soon. It is horrible when you lost the hability to use dmesg
directly because it goes over the number of lines it saves... or even
with dmesg -w it goes over the number of lines of your terminal...
or the ssh and serial slowness when printing a bunch of information.

We probably want to be able to capture multiple error states and be
able to cross them with a kernel timeline, but definitely not overflood
our log terminals.
