OK, so this is closer, but still would mean that enabling the debug flag via
RPC would potentially cause all clients to start to see the diagnostics
information (which may break them).
A client that breaks when receiving unknown data is a broken client. The
earlier they fall apart the better so that they get fixed.
Even if they don't break, debug and diagnostics information can be very
verbose.
If a client had 4 connections to a device for monitoring different
things, then you don't want to suddenly start sending a large amount of
extra diagnostics data on each of the 4 connections when they have only
requested it on one connection. Generating this extra data could
overload the client or the device, or certainly lead to degraded
performance in some way or another.
