Yeah, I thought about using a symlink here, too. The main reason
why I didn't want to do this is to keep configuration and data
separate from each other. It honestly feels a bit weird to me to
configure the logger in /var/log/$service -- doing so in
/etc/sv/$service/log seems like the more obvious location to me
and can be cleanly achieved with this new option without
requiring a symlink.
