I completely agree.

I think its reasonable to make it DEBUG/TRACE but I don't think I want
to necessarily change it such that it is no longer included in log
output at all.  Having it be included is a good first-line of defense on
trying to resolve potential problems not only for us, but even for users
who are doing their own debugging before reporting an issue;
particularly if the error in question implies some Dialect configuration
problem.
