It's not even clear that doing something more structured is such a good idea to begin with. Modern efforts at logging APIs (log4j, Java Logger, etc.) still do text only to this day, and that's fine. This sounds to me as a case where incremental improvement is held back for the sake of the Perfect Solution which, on second thought, is not even clear that is that desirable :) -- Dimi Paun <dimi@xxxxxxxxxxx> Lattica, Inc. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
