Your 2) is possible with syslog, but it's spelled "tail /var/log/foobard" - just standardizing on the naming of these files would be enough to satisfy this.
I'm actually a fan of improving logging, because it could be so much better, but this proposal has so many things that make me go "Huh?" that I'd rather change nothing than adopt it as is.

I would say, rather, that the consequence of the above argument is that some of the simple systems we have long used are becoming no longer "just enough" for some uses and that some of them should be replaced with a new level of "just enough" that satisifies today's requirements... and this needs to happen before they are each replaced by ill conceived, grandiose, kitchen-sink solutions which throw the baby out with the bathwater.

A few thoughts.

It really would be nice if more of the visible pro-Unix people in discussions of Lennartware would say "there may be a problem but Lennart's solution is wrong" instead of "Lennart is wrong to think there is a problem". It would be even nicer if they'd put their code where their prose is, of course :)
