Logging settings should be one of the first ones, together with client
connection information.  We can continue with working with those
connections (disconnecting, etc.), similarly to services
(e.g. disabling TLS socket listening) adding events for all that, etc.
My opinion is that logging stuff and connection listing should be in
the first batch and we'll go on from that.

Thanks for your input.
