I think an application following the documented API is not bad or buggy.
An application may not maintain some state and always call a stop before
a start etc. in line with the API.
I don't think an API success condition should be changed from a debug
message to anything else. Otherwise, it is trying to flag a warning
about the application which is following the API! It and will just spook
people when they see a new warning.
