G'Day Cody,

I can't continence suggesting printing bugs, that sounds just cruel! 
;-)

However what came to my mind is:

Add debug classes for the common and source4 code:

Back during the dark times before we merged the code, the source3 side
of the project embraced debug classes.  The source4 side did not.

So, currently there is not much use of debug classes outside source3. 
That should change.  If you do:

git grep DBGC_CLASS source4/

You will see the DNS is the only case currently handled.  Adding new
classes and re-using existing classes like rpc_srv and auth would be
very helpful. 

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
