In the end you will have a customer or QA issue that will require exactly that missing event to understand whats going on (Thats why I add these counters now). So yes, we might want to add more traces and/or dbf statements. This needs more work though, as both are more costly (e.g. dbf takes a spinlock) and/or need explicit enablement or the correct level.
