I agree, on the same reason Policy mandates to make the build as verbose
as possible.

BTW: Do you know who runs the build log scanner? I'd really be
interested why it still has problems with the logs and what lines it
doesn't like, but I can't seem to find that information anywhere on the
QA pages, just the fact that it thinks it found errors, all the while
the manual run from the blhc package shows no errors anymore.
