What that statement is telling me is that the author at one point didn't consider logging to be a fully fledged formal non-functional requirement, more of an optional and/or informal side chore.
I used to work at a company that built software for mobile networks; their entire C codebase was full of logging statements, pretty much every step made in processing a signal was logged. Probably as a form of tracing, and automated instrumentation would possibly have been a better solution, but they were a bit old fashioned.
