agreed. it's really dependent on what your use case is... just pointing out an 
option to the statement: "hoping that there's a way to consume the notification 
events and then write them to a log". if you're just looking to track 
operations of a single keystone service, then you probably don't want 
notifications. if you're looking to collate them against various other things 
then you'll need some service/tool to either listen to notifications or 
grab/process logs from multiple places.

cheers,
gord
