    Dear Maintainer,

    Current kernel message verbosity during Debian boot significantly
    hampers the
    ability to identify critical system alerts, with important messages
    quickly
    lost in the noise. This situation presents challenges for both new
    and
    experienced users; newcomers may find the volume of information
    daunting and
    misinterpret its importance, while seasoned users may struggle to
    quickly
    pinpoint vital warnings or errors. To address these concerns, it is
    proposed
    that the default kernel log level be set to "Warning." This
    adjustment will
    streamline the boot process, making critical messages more visible
    and less
    likely to be overlooked. Such a change not only aids in diagnosing
    and
    troubleshooting by highlighting essential alerts but also enhances
    the boot
    experience for all users by focusing on the most pertinent
    information.

    The standard default is info so that there is a reasonable amount of information included in bug reports.

    It's just a default, and you can trivially override it on your machines
    as you see fit if it doesn't work for you.
