[Typo3-dev] using devLog instead of debug in the core?

To make my question more precise:

The point is that the devLog could be used on many places within the 
Core. This would obviously clutter up the log, even with a meaningful 
severity parameter.

So where should it be used?

The second question is about configurability. Should the Core simply 
log, or should it be enabled withe a sitewide config. Or is it enough to 
enable logging by changing a variable manually in the source code of 
some classes.

IMHO the latter is only of interest for info notices relevant only to 
the developer of the classes itself. Logging relevant to 3rd party devs 
or end users should always occur. Eg a failed SQL query should always be 
logged by the DB classes. It should not be necessary to enable logging 
for such a critical failure.
