FWIW - the current plan for Lumberjack/CEE is to keep
/var/log/{messages,secure etc} unmodified, and store the full data in
a separate file.  We can easily change this if the logging users don't
think this is the right thing to do, and users who require maximum
logging performance an obviously use a customized information - but
keeping the files and not requiring a flag day for everyone to convert
their tools immediately sounds like a good default.
