Wait, James said, "crypto agile log format", not CEL. Crypto agile log
format looks more generic, no "recnum" for example.

So to me, "no log" means that instead of going from 14 standards going
to 15, the kernel is saying "whee, infinite userspace log formats!", an
abdication of its role to support a stable application ABI.
The job here to define a kernel de-facto standard for the tags that this
configs implementation of a cryto agile log emits, right? As James says:
"(providing someone agrees to the tag or set of tags)"
