When I asked a long time ago for babelweb 1, the answer was that monitoring is 
stateless, and it's more reliable to keep it simple and verbose than to try and 
deduplicate, which could be buggy, would make the code more complex, etc. The 
idea is that whenever something might have changed, it is logged 
conservatively. I assume this argument still holds.
