Good, to know, thank you. Just to make it clear: I still think that the
second alternative to hide the suggestion that a log file is created
from the user, because it's unintuitive and imo possible, no matter
which part of the program (core or dependency) generates it, but I
assume that your comment and status change already had that in mind, so
I won't bother more than adding this comment.
