This is not the default combination. The default is:

CONFIG_COMPILE_LOGLEVEL=6
CONFIG_DEFAULT_LOGLEVEL=7

The rationale is:

Do not compile in debug messages by default (CONFIG_COMPILE_LOGLEVEL=6)
unless DEBUG is defined in a source file. When DEBUG is defined then make
sure the messages are printed (CONFIG_DEFAULT_LOGLEVEL=7).

There are tons of debug messages throughout the code which normally
shouldn't be compiled into the binay.
