Imagine the power supply would fail so that I can't read logfiles
anymore.
What do I do? Fix the hardware right away or waste a week or two trying
to find a way to read logfiles because mcelog /might/ have logged
something?
Nothing more than a strawman. If the power supply's failed completely,
you don't need the logs; if it's slowly going bad, the logs might help
you diagnose the issue and replace the supply before it's completely
gone. And, if the computer's dead, the power supply isn't the only
possibility and there are times that it's better (and cheaper) to spend
a little time grovelling over the logs instead of swapping parts until
it works again.
