Nonsense – defence in depth and all of that. FSS is useful because it provides a layer of audibility for users that wouldn't have external log servers in any case, and because it provides some minimal guarantees about the ability to tamper with logs. That's useful, regardless of the fact that it's not a bulletproof solution!
I didn't say FSS was a step backwards or wasn't useful. You completely ignored the content of my post. When the project founder tells people "hey, you don't need external syslog servers" it shows an absolute ignorance of WHY we have external logging servers. And that kind of ignorance is dangerous in a project leader. ESPECIALLY when his solution to being called out on his ignorance is to ignore the person who was critical.
