Comment (by xkon):

 Replying to [comment:47 azaozz]:
 > Hmm, not sure what a "proper log" is and why would the list-tables be
 "improper logs", but thinking duplicate logs don't belong in core. Plugins
 can implement as many logs as they want, and I'm sure some people will
 like having many of them :)

 Logs afaic are meant to keep track of everything even if the main data are
 the same as the 'time' would be different, not have single entries.

 To give an easy example as I've mentioned in a different comment:

 For the time being (it might get fixed in a future release) if there's a
 user already in the list I can't add another request for the same user.

 So if a user asks me for 3 exports within 2 months or I want to do manual
 exports ever 2 days, I only have 1 request 'logged'.

 A more correct way imho would be to have '1 entry per request' to call it
 a log as for the time being you only know 'that you exported some data'
 not how many times/when you did that.

 Since some might 'charge' or whatever else they could think of for exports
 etc it will make a huge difference to see `5 exports of xkon` within 1
 month than just have `xkon` on the list without any extra information, if
 that makes sense :).
