[TYPO3-dev] Syslog confusion

+1. I find it very confusing too.

And btw, I find it not clear at all how to properly activate 
syslog/writelog/devlog in auth service. DevLog is OK but syslog/writelog 
has multiple inheritance and for instance my own auth service does not 
"writelog" at all because it's being deactivated somewhere...
