Despite our messages configuration, I second this sentiment. You're better to play it safe unless you have reason to otherwise. We rarely maintain support contracts on our equipment after a probationary period, so it is less of a concern in our case.

I would avoid changing "messages" since JTAC usually relies on the standard stuff being there (and often increasing the logging to daemon any; kernel any;). Instead, create a se parate log file for your own cut-down logging.
