I agree with you Benedict. But that's not what we have today, specifically post CASSANDRA-10241. What's your proposal to change it to *how it should be*? And who will do that work ? Along with better naming of log files, I wholeheartedly support a more intuitive approach to using separate loggers in the code, e.g. with markers. My proposal is only in lieu of such an agreement and change.
