That's always a possibility, you can set the default debug level with  
a one liner like:

set ::loglevel 4

As for what should be the default behavior, that's a tough question.   
I've heard from a lot of newbies that having lots of text in the Pd  
window at startup is quite intimidating, so I think its good to really  
only show errors and strong warnings by default.  More advanced users  
can hopefully figure out how to set the log level.
