I understand that. I also agree with you that syslog(3) is not an
ideal option, either. But as it stands, this new "switch" is still
a security risk -- it opens a potential "backdoor", however unlikely
some feel it might be. I'm just not sure that the need, outweighs
the risk. Is there /really/ no other possible solution. Must a
decision on this be made right now? Or could more time be given,
in hopes a better solution might be found?

Lastly, I know status of this bug is essentially "closed",
and I apologize for responding so late. I would have responded
earlier. But I was sure a patch in this direction, would have
been rejected.
