I think *developers* deserve an info message. As an outsider (or a newcomer), I don't want to be surprised by sudden change of GST_DEBUG default when I want to debug one of those channels. Info messages immediately answer that question, without requiring digging through the code (which only a few wine developers are familiar with).
Anyways I'm not strongly arguing for the info message. I'm merely suggesting a compromise.
(As you might have noticed, I believe *in general* that we should *not* make Wine[^1] even harder to hack around with for someone who is not a CW employee or a long-time contributor. Not everyone agrees with this; you can say "if you seriously want to hack with Wine you should already read the entire codebase" and that wouldn't be entirely wrong. I'm just not sure if we (as a collective, not this MR in partiular) *really* want Wine project to be more open and friendly to new contributors, or not.)
