Do we also want to expand the scope of this to remove the Publishing Metrics spam?

That makes sense to me. That line isn't particularly useful.

It doesn't seem like these debug messages were ever helpful anyway anyways, right? No reason to ever want to turn them back on?

I don’t think they help. The method that was logging network interfaces used to be called only when a change was detected on the network. With the recent code changes, it’s now being called every 10 seconds, and that leads to a lot of boring entries. It should now only log on a change to network devices.

I should investigate if this actually needs to be called so often, since the network interfaces really really shouldn’t change. It might be better to call this at boot and return a cached value after that.
