For what purpose?
I'm not sure we want yet another config debug option. These are all expert level configuration and honestly I would rather such users _think_ about what options they are enabling instead of giving them a large hammer.
If enough load, this can also make boxes completely locked up for any sort of testing/debugging. I vote no.
Also, CI efforts such 0-day already have the necessary scripting to cover the debug options that make sense.
Thanks, Davidlohr
