But look at positive side:
1. really few people run development kernels despite the "performance" so it probably will be with nondebug kernels. 2. production kernels get more solid 3. because there could be a lot more debug points in development kernels 4. Distributors are interested in shipping debug-kernels.
You see the part that lots of asserts and debug prints may go. I see the advantage, that a lot of them can come, at no cost.
Besides, if you want to have some assert anyway, then do not write it with system-wide macro but make your own or mark it as "included allways". Faulty logic.
