Yes, separate sections prevent displacement of events by other, too verbose, events. On the other hand, time coherence is lost or has to be manually re-established by the support engineer. Often enough, an issue can only be understood when seeing multiple/all events in timely order.

FWIW, I think I am of the opposite opinion. I find it very helpful to have the events separated into distinct sections and wouldn't want them all combined into one big section.
