When I first read this, I was thinking "why on earth would you use asterisk
for your logging", when your app can just log out however it wants to. so
+1 meh

However, the more I think about it, with a replacement for say app_queue or
app_voicemail, you still want the logs to be in Asterisk, even if the code
lives in an external module. The way I see i, there's two kinds of apps -
an app that I would make for my business needs - at which point I deal with
my own logging, on the other hand you have the replacement for app_queue
etc, which could be bundled with an asterisk package etc to still give "a
fully featured pbx"; it's just that the fully featured pbx is made up of
modules as well as the core of Asterisk.

So I definitely see this as important, but it may not be as important as
other things, I see posting JSON as more important than this... but I do
absolutely see a use case for this!
