They came along later.

Changing this in the code might make a lot of sites' log files suddenly jump hugely in size - a lot of ratware makes these errors and not all sites want to log them all all the time. I suppose adding a log_selector to the default configuration so that new sites get these options might arguably be reasonable. For myself, I'm loath to change, for compatibility reasons.
