yeah what I meant is: if we need to change the log format because we
find it better to debug issues, that might happen, but there's nothing
planned already.

Maybe we can generate a separate log just for this project? exactly
how depends on the still-to-be-defined details, but at least we keep
your project and the normal execution of bts-link reporting separated?
