However, some specific logging cases do not need decorations, and manually having to disable them results in cumbersome extra input and loss of ergonomics. For example, C2 developers rarely need decorations, and having to manually specify this every time results inconvenient.

These disables are in no way overriding user input -- they will only act whenever -Xlog has no decorators supplied and there is a positive match with the pre-specified defaults. Such a match is based on an inclusion rule: e.g. if -Xlog:jit+compilation is provided, a default for jit may be applied. Additionally, defaults may target a specific log level.

However, this would ease the migration of other logging that was initially deterred by this, such as -XX:+PrintInterpreter.
