This loloks like, a log, smells like a log, there fore it is a log.

It is probbaly not an "application generated log", but it is at all
effects what in english you would call a log [1].

So please let's call stuff with its name. It is a log, it maybe some
special kind of log, but it is nothing more than a log.

It maybe so special that it will require a special way to handle it, I
perfectly agree not all logs are created equal, but let's not fight on a
definition.
