Please leave at least a debug log in place, it's not good to just
silently fail - even if we will retry someone might still need some help
debugging (eg, figuring out that they need to enable whatever driver is
providing the supply in their config) so we should tell them why we're
deferring.

BTW does an e-mail address need updating somewhere here?
