Yes, I did. I thought this was a dead issue since there was no follow up

It would appear that a new audit patch to ipsec wants these and a couple more
things. So, at this point we should have something queued in netdev tree that
will use these.
We're talking about basic logging functionality here.
Exactly. I can see 3rd party security vendors perhaps using this interface as
well. I don't personally know of any that are using it, nor am I in
discussions with any, but I could see them eventually finding this and using
it as they use other basic interfaces like syslog or file access.
