We could revert the merge of the previous attempt out of 'next' and queue the new iteration in 'seen', but I think the major changes in this iteration are (1) the "log:" prefix is omitted (which I think is a bad change that we do not want), (2) we no longer consider the option an extended boolean "use the modern customized format [Yes/no/use this format]?" (which I think is OK), and (3) the default modern format has a name (which is OK, even though "chronological" may be a mouthful to say). and associated documentation and test updates, so at this point, making incremental changes on top of what we already have in 'next' may be more appropriate. The incremental changes are easier to justify as well.
