Is it just me, or is there a reason for it?

My point was that users do need warnings when things go wrong. You can't be
expected to read through the raw log files all the time.  So I use logcheck,
but I'm getting stuff that I think serves very little purpose, and so my
point was that either developers should be more selective about what is
logged or the logcheck filtering should be tightened, but that users
shouldn't have to get to grips with extended regular expressions.

If there's a better way rather than using logcheck I'll look at it.

Since I'm clearly in a minority of one, I'll not pursue this further.
