There's nothing that prevents a server from holding onto the ID and logging
it after login if you think you don't want it from before for some reason.

or, if you're really concerned with too much logging from non-signed in
sessions, then implement an actual rate limit instead of just never logging
them.

There is definite utility in having the information earlier.
