As one of the guilty parties, I'll try to make redress.  The off-list discussion I've taken part in over the past few days has been related to logging and diagnostics, and I have copied the essence of it to the wiki:

Logging
* The definition of logging requirements is part of the current R-Team Sprint.  This task has been assigned ticket #421 and is now awaiting review.  The requirements document can be found at http://bind10.isc.org/wiki/LoggingRequirements
* A possible solution to the issue of multiple language support using message files has just been added (http://bind10.isc.org/wiki/ExternalMessageFiles) and is pointed to from the "Ideas Dump" page (http://bind10.isc.org/wiki/IdeaDump)

Diagnostics
Mentioned in discussion were:

* Query Tracing
* Ring buffer for holding last few queries
* Synthesised queries

I've added a "diagnostics" section to the "Ideas Dump" page (http://bind10.isc.org/wiki/IdeaDump) which describe/point to descriptions of these.
