s6-log chains

[Jan Bramkamp]

I want to arrange multiple s6-log processes into a tree with pipes as 
edges and forward filtered log lines from leaves towards the root. 
Reading the s6-log documentation[1] I found that it stops forwarding 
messages to stdout after the first write error and clutters lines 
written to stderr with a warning.

Is there some deeper reason to permanently break the logging chain after 
the first I/O error? Is there any chance for a patch changing this 
behavior to be accepted?
