Comment:

 What output is difficult to understand? And if so, I wonder what details a
 casual user should actually need to understand. I am not convinced we
 should spend effort on making everyone understand what errors/warnings
 your browser console is throwing at you, for instance.

 That said, the main problem I see is more that we need something written
 down on how to gather the log information we need to debug and reproduce
 problems on all supported platforms + making the necessary information
 available in our software in the first place (clock skew issues come to
 mind as one major one, for example. See #9675 for the parent ticket.)
