I'm all ears on a better name for it... or just making the decision to delay the initialization of the security events framework until after manager is initialized. It probably doesn't matter since either way, nothing is logging the security events until either the forwarder is initialized or else a resource that subscribes to the security event stasis messages is loaded... and since this occurs right after manager, it's probably going to be the forwarder.

This only has to be created - it never gets actually *used* by security events. For all intents and purposes, this could be created in Manager, in which case you'd no longer need this at all.

"No longer need this at all" => the function itself. You still need the forwarder.
