I don't think anyone is relying on these. We should just stop creating them altogether.
We are using the *.log files to track test results over time, but we don't need these files there. You can detect crashing tests by the fact that the log files don't have a "TestResult-" (Success, Failure, Error, ...) prefix. We have a script for doing that here <https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/lldb-utils/+/lldb-master-dev/buildbotScripts/logParser/doParse.py>, but it's very specific to our buildbot setup, so it may not be very useful to you...
