Possibly, though you aren't supposed to leave EARLY_DEBUG enabled
once you are done debugging :-)
I'm probably not the only person that would turn it on when needed, think
"well, no harm in leaving it on for the rest of my development, and it
might be handy; just turn it off when we're done".

It's these kind of non-obvious but undocumented things that make a lot of
OSS code a pain to work with for non-experts [1].  What's the harm in
giving folks a heads-up?
Well, the config text does say "(dangerous)"...
