Well, the thing about this is that it's a slippery slope that leads into
posix logging.  This recently came up in network as well (for

The principle is sound, but I think the framework for doing it would
have to cross all subsystems and be nicely extensible.  I'd really like
to see us have some idea of the back end infrastructure before we do
something that we'll then have to change again.
