Try to influence, sure.  But as I mentioned on the last thread (where  
we discussed this same stuff), it is exceedingly arrogant to think  
that you are going to affect a change in how all OSS projects do  
logging just because you prefer one way or another.

By the nature of the game, containers are simply going to have to deal  
with the consolidating logging from its bundled components through  
various logging mechanisms.
