Would it make any significant difference if the link only posted a DBE_VALUE event and not DBE_LOG (or would that be even more confusing)? Does the Archive Appliance even use DBE_LOG for its subscriptions? I guess that wouldn't affect any channels archived using periodic ca_gets instead of monitors, but those channels are already seeing a new value with the old timestamp from a DB-link put with NPP, so I don't see a huge change here.
To be clear, I'm not necessarily pushing to get this in, but it would clean up one of our (many) corner cases.
