The problem is that the old traditions do not work any more.

The number of logging messages has increased significantly. You don't need most of them except when something goes wrong, at which time you realize that you didn't log enough. Text files may be easily greppable but they're a security nightmare. So is remote syslogging via UDP. And so on.

Remember that there are many different ways to send logs with syslog, not just UDP. the options include encryption and delivery confirmation. Rsyslog (the default syslog on almost every distro now), supports all of this (including delivering well formatted messages that conform to the latest syslog RFC) out of the box.

How do you figure? Do you imagine that this proposal is going to be adopted without regard to its virtues and deficits?
