Well, I was talking about zone files and resource records (e.g. things you load 
into knot/nsd/bind9, things you receive back from kdig/dig), not log files.

In my experience people who write logging code in nameservers are subject to 
nobody, least of all their users. That's probably harsh. But fair.
