Default log file format
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Would anyone object to setting the default logfile format to combined
rather than common? Apart from the "we've always done it that way" line,
is there any reason to leave it as is?

Yes, it's one of many things. I'd really like to get these "best
practice" things into the default config file, rather than having the
docs recommend one thing, but doing another thing by default.

FWIW, this is one of the first things I change on every install I do of
httpd.
Doesn't everyone else do this too?

I just want to note, that the default log format is part of mod_log_config,
not the installed config file.
I have rather no opinion to the subject anyway ;)

Nothing major, but it will still grow the logs by quite a bit.

I was under the impression that we considered the default configuration
file to be a part of the documentation. I wasn't aware that this caused
non-negligible performance impact. That being the case, perhaps this
isn't worth pursuing. I was just thinking "out loud."

Combined logs more, using more space and slowing things down. For those
who don't care enough about logging to change it, the minimal format is
probably the best choice.
That being said, shouldn't this discussion be on dev@httpd?
