What does everyone think of making some change for 2.5 so that certificates 
from SSL aren't logged in the files.log by default?  I've heard grumblings 
about the number of certs that show up from quite a few people and personally 
noticed that the number of certificates will dwarf all other files types pretty 
badly which makes the output look a bit weird since very few people are ever 
interested in looking at those files in the files.log.

Certificates would still be passed through the files framework, so it's not an 
architectural change, it would all be related to just not doing the log.  There 
is one minor issue that this brings up though in that right now certificate 
hashes are all given in the files.log.  We could move them elsewhere like 
x509.log or ssl.log, but I'm curious if anyone had thoughts on what they think 
would be most useful?
