A secondary concern I have is the misunderstandings that will arise around
the use of global variables. Given that various things can cause logs to be
re-ordered (network issues, queuing issues, thread scheduling, relay
delays, etc), expectations that you can see one log before another and rely
on global variables being set for the first one before the second is
processed will usually, but not always work.
It's definitely not a replacement for SEC...
This ordering issue is a problem for SEC as well (except for thread scheduling,
since it's single threaded) and a lot of people do get it wrong there when
writng rules.
