That is part of the patch. See the external_logging tag on

Heh, all you need is a non-blocking mysql client library.
The main goal of moving the logging outside, was to allow rotations

They all log to a pipe, and the pipe is not closed. The log helper
understands closing and opening the logs, thus everyone is happy.
