Per https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/13838#note_3088335 it 
would result in one dropped vertex, which might be hard to notice. That's why I 
agree that in this specific case, not logging anything by default might have 
resulted in the issue taking much longer to be discovered (if ever).

(A potential counter argument being: If it's not noticeable, does the kernel 
need to log anything about it by default?)
