If adding the debug stuff will help in debugging and tracking down 
problems in 2.5 then by all means do so. And don't worry about about the 
folks running trunk on their main sites. They're just bunch of old or 
not so old tech heads like myself who have a the ability to make their 
installs do head stands on a regular basis (whether we plan them or 
not). Instead, take advantage of the fact that this in fact exists if 
you know what I mean. If you add debugging into the core and perhaps 
write up a sample testing script to check it out that we could all 
follow (so we're all on the same track if not on the same setup) I know 
I'd be more than willing to bring my 2 test sites (online and local) up 
to the latest revision and follow any testing type 
scripts/plans/scenarios you might come up with.

Okay, enough out of me. ;)
