It isn't (in my opinion) a problem *per se* if Diego does it the way he does it now. The reason being that *he* knows the logs should be available for a long time afterwards and takes care of that properly. So, Diego, I'm perfectly fine with accepting your bug reports, and I would be very glad if you also started tinderboxing again. Globally, on the long run it *is* not so nice to link the logs for the one reason that we need to teach our users to attach logs instead of linking them. (Since they do not automatically apply the same level of care.) Now if they keep stumbling on bugs where the logs are just linked instead of attached, this gets harder and harder.
