I know exactly what we are producing, I was personally involved in the
development of the minimal images. Which is why I am disputing the idea
that "lots of users" are consuming the minimal images in lxd today, because
I know they are not currently published in a form that is consumed by the
lxd client automatically.

These are about docker, not about lxd. docker and lxd are completely
separate technologies that use completely separate images.

If what you are running is docker containers, then running a syslog daemon
(default or otherwise) and a log rotater inside the container is a corner
case with a straightforward workaround (create the group when you create
your docker image). This does not constitute a high priority issue for
SRUing.

If what you are running is lxd containers, you haven't answered my question
of how you are doing this.
