How about adding:
(defsubst message-nolog (format-string &rest args)
"Same as `message' except not writing to *Messages* buffer."
(let (message-log-max) (apply 'message format-string args)))
This could encourage elisp authors to choose what to log to *Messages*
buffer. For example, ff-quiet-mode defaults to nil and, boy, this
library can write thousands of useless lines to *Messages* buffer.
