Trying to put this more plainly, if I were looking at it from a user's perspective, my expectation might fall along one of these lines: 1) All log messages that originate from my log categories get handled separately. 2) All log messages that originate from loggers within my deployment (regardless of category) get handled separately. 3) All log messages that originate or relate to my deployment in any way (regardless of category or originating module) get handled separately. We obviously can do (1) now with no changes. The question is, do we want to do (2) or (3)? Are existing solutions good enough? Even (3) is doable, if we're willing to monkey with the microcontainer enough to provide hooks into any code that invokes a task or method in a user's deployment (maybe these hooks already exist and we just aren't utilizing them).
