I don't think it's confusing, and I don't think there's any reason to 
rename it or to avoid using the unified logging code.  This is essentially 
a transition in progress; it's appropriate to modify the bosserver to use 
it, but not to design something completely new and duplicate code that we 
are trying to unify just because you don't like the name of something.
