Just that I do not think the current implementation is the best solution. Both when SystemLogger came up and when you asked for reviewing, I said that SystemLogger should be improved and gave feedback. Then I was told to be pragmatic and not just talk. Now, I contributed a concrete solution that works out of the box to back up my arguments and I documented all decisions in the process.

You can see it as a competitor to the implementation of SystemLogger, but that will not lead anywhere. I prefer to see it as a possible candidate model for the future logging engine that will be integrated in the image. We are now in the position to compare and consolidate.
