I don't see anybody concur with your stance in this particular 
discussion, and if you search the old one, I think it was mostly Paul 
(?), and even he was really arguing toward something different, in a 
different context as well (plain text files).

Unlike some other questions, this is about the development process, and 
the team of regulars is not so big. A dozen people seems like a 
significant number for that purpose.

Again, look at this discussion: nobody is disputing the format of log 
messages.

Lars said we shouldn't care about it too much, but that's neither here 
nor there.
