That is of course the plan, but we all know that problems _will_ show up (not often hopefully), for example, a user has a hardware configuration that we never thought of (or didn't test on, at least); it would be quite helpful to get some debug data out in such a case. That being so hard, I guess we have to focus on making our code as bullet-proof as possible; i.e., even if half the hardware setup fails, make sure the rest works irrespectively, so we get the debug text out.
