Yes, and if it does fail, nothing is logged so when the box crashes strangely
and unreproducibly, there is no data trail.

While I agree with the sentiment of the comment, common sense must prevail and
at the very least, a message emitted to the logs (and NOT a debug log, a

you're trying to fix a problem.
