Configuring location of log4j out files

I was wondering about supporting configuring a specific location for the Karaf log files.
There are use cases where these files must not be kept under the "data" directory.
Could it be supported by use of a ${karaf.log} which defaults to ${karaf.data}/log ?

What I'm suggesting is to decouple the logfile location, as done with 
other kinds of locations such as:

${karaf.home}
${karaf.base}
${karaf.data}
${karaf.etc}

and introduce an additional ${karaf.log} ($KARAF_LOG)

Currently, "${karaf.data}/log" (or $KARAF_DATA/log) occurs in several 
places:

./etc/org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg
./bin/stop
./bin/start
./bin/status

With a KARAF_LOG, the location could be managed in one place (./bin/setenv).
