Description

I understand that it is very useful to be able to debug session lock problems, but now with a vanilla install of Moodle accessing any page will result in a session lock message being sent to the error log.

In most situations I'm never using the read only session and this adds more entries into the error log that makes it difficult to debug other problems.

Can we introduce a setting to disable this?
