I'm fine with these sorts of changes in the bigger picture.

None does work. It delivers a log base image, which is rather important for
plenty of folks, not the least of which was the BI's Agent.

Specifically, if the config defaults to a look on top of the log base, it
would be impossible to replicate what the actual BI did for Agent. That
seems odd, no?

None of these things are very difficult to fix, all I'm asking is if you
