[ClusterLabs] Opinions wanted: another logfile question for Pacemaker 2.0

Currently, Pacemaker will use the same detail log as corosync if one is
specified (as "logfile:" in the "logging {...}" section of
corosync.conf).

The corosync developers think that is a bad idea, and would like
pacemaker 2.0 to always use its own log.

Corosync and pacemaker both use libqb to write to the logfile. libqb
doesn't have any locking mechanism, so there could theoretically be
some conflicting writes, though we don't see any in practice.

Does anyone have a strong opinion on this one way or the other? Do you
like having pacemaker and corosync detail messages in one logfile, or
would you prefer separate logfiles?

Note that this question only applies to the detail log; the syslog
would still get messages from everything (when configured).
