<div>Correct on both counts.</div>

<div>These are LaTeX questions, and should be directly to the LaTeX Team,</div>

Anyway, \tracinglostchars1 is default in LaTeX (ltplain.dtx),<br class="">
but not extremely useful because the information goes only<br class="">
to log file and user is not warned.<br class="">

<div>LaTeX’s attitude is that most users never look at the .log file anyway,</div>
<div>so these no need to worry about this ...</div>

With \tracinglostchars2, also console output gets the info.<br class="">
But console output is often big. There is no warning at end.<br class="">

<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>… and all this extra noise would just turn off most users anyway.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>Serious users, who are aware of how useful the .log file really is,</div>
<div>should have the ability to make adjustments for themselves.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>You can always put the directive:</div>
<div> \tracinglostchars2</div>
<div>in your preamble.</div>
<div>It doesn’t need to be a LaTeX default.</div>

(e)TeX gives very visible warning<br class="">

(\end occurred inside a group at level 1)<br class="">
<br class="">
### semi simple group (level 1) (\begingroup)<br class="">
### bottom level<br class="">
<br class="">
at end of run.<br class="">
<br class="">
But a missing glyph in a PDF file is often at least<br class="">
as much relevant as the above problem from the end<br class="">
user point of view<br class="">
<br class="">
Could \tracinglostchars1 by default also print at end of run<br class="">
to stdout<br class="">
something such as<br class="">
<br class="">
There were missing characters. Check the log file.<br class="">
<br class="">
And of course also \tracinglostchars2<br class="">
<br class="">
Or let \tracinglostchars3 do that.<br class="">
<br class="">
I would then suggest macro formats adopt this<br class="">
by default.<br class="">
