I really don't understand how hiding system logs from the GUI will help users solve problems. I can see it causing additional problems, however, where users are asked to provide certain logs, can't find them in the GUI log viewer and need to dig in to the command line (or navigate to /var/log in Nautilus). Besides that, they still have insanely cryptic names like dmesg.

A less destructive approach would be to promote certain logs at the top of the list (maybe with human-friendly descriptions), leaving the others completely intact beneath.
