I thought the first sentence of the second paragraph summed it up rather
well.

Here are the elaborated motivations:

- Filter unwanted, irrelevant or unimportant messages before they fill
  queue so important messages don't get lost.  This is a certification
  requirement.

- Make security claims about containers, require tracking of actions
  within those containers to ensure compliance with established security
  policies.

- Route messages from events to local audit daemon instance or host
  audit daemon instance

- Tried nsIDs, but insufficient for efficient filtering, routing,
  tracking
