Fair enough. In r950, I moved log files to a separate filter.
I did not pick up your idea to put it into "TeX documents", however, for
a couple of reasons:
 - they are no TeX documents, they are logs
 - LaTeX documents (*.ltx) are separate as well - this can probably
argued about by itself, but as long as this is the case, I see no point
in merging log files with one of them
 - while log files provide very valuable information when things go
wrong, I guess most users (for whom things don't go wrong so badly that
they seek help on mailing lists) prefer to leave files they have not
created (and possibly don't even know the exact purpose of) alone.
