 Travels often have that effect :)

 Actually you might be raising an interesting point in favor of keeping
 logdir (which was the historical name in tahoe) rather than switching to
 logfile, as incidents_dir is using the value of the first one if set to
 compute its own value. That is how I understand it. Switching to logfile
 might introduce more complexity into the patch (and probably elsewhere),
 for not so much gain IMHO. I think the patches are quite good at the
 moment.

 So is the logfile switch (not so related to FHS btw) very much needed in
 the end?
