Lots of distros don't treat local7 the same. I had started using that
for my testing exactly for that reason (to keep our tests from being
confused by other system log messages). But that decision doesn't make
sense for use outside the test lab. Although I don't think I wrote any
non-test code that defaults to local7, I did set the precedent that led
to that kind of thinking.
If we are going to use some kind of default logfacility, it should
probably be daemon - which is the most generic and appropriate guess at.
We just reworked some of that code in 'dev' and it is _possible_ the
behavior has changed.
If you think 'dev' is still defaulting non-test things to LOCAL7, I
think a bugzilla would be in order. We can always do special things for
our test environment.
