I think it's a reasonable to put to vendors as to why such commands  
like "debug all" exist at all.

The only time those commands are safe to execute are when the router  
is doing precisely nothing at all, in which case there's arguably no  
value to be gained from trying to debug anything in the first place.

(I've seen people mistype "no debug all" and have it come out as  
something like "no <return>debug all" over lagged terminal sessions  
before. Instant bad day. Just add router.)
