EVERY DAY multiple times i check "dmesg" and "/var/log/messages"
on 20 production and around 10 test setups

why? because i am responsible for perfect running systems
no matter if they are test-machines, my workstations or high
important production servers

however, do not check this after dist-upgrades is a epic-fail

how do you debig all the other problems you wrote about if least
your syslog does not work?
