Depending on the size of the overall site, the kind of page (single 
views!), and the number of dynamic elements on a page I'd like to 
disagree here. Thus it may be important to know who "did that". After 
all logging for clearing caches was introduced with a reason.

I agree with Ernesto here that this would be a good functionality to 
have for the core. Your "problem" could be then solved by adding a 
method clearBranchCache($root). Personally I'd rather log too much 
instead too few. Especially considering TYPO3 as enterprise these audit 
tracks may be important.

Thus I'd be -1 to removing logging of cache clearing.
