If it were only that simple -- many of the logs that we need to take into consideration are generated by our OS or by utilities that come with the OS and most of those use syslog and have their traditional log message formats which won't be changed in any kind of hurry. Whatever we do just has to take those logs into consideration because we need to be able to make use of the information they contain -- even if we do manage to persuade the application authors to move to a new wonderful way of logging.
