The example above actually demonstrates that you do not need blockinheritfilter (and should not use it for this example), instead you can just append rules to blocks.
loggers should not open the log file for write and so the main template should not include that permission in the first place:
(block logger
(blockabstract logger)
(type process)
(type log)
(allow process log (file (getattr append))))
Then if you have a misbehaving logger you can just append the bad rule to that block:
(block badlogger
(blockinherit logger)
(allow process log (file (write)))))
Appending instead of filtering probably just the better approach also if you consider that blocks might have macros or nested blocks
You probably would not be able to filter any of those.
