I think changing a dash to an underscore is not such a big deal (I did not check the rest of the patch yet). But I'm interested to hear more about your "private logger" idea because the current solution is far from being perfect. As we have to debug the routing protocol every now and then it would be very helpful to get direct access to some internal logging facility. In fact, that existed before (inside of /proc) but was removed to be more compliant with the linux kernel and the existing log facilities.
