If you are talking to me, it is somewhat moot since I actually distribute
both the source and executables, so that even without a log, you can easily
reconstruct one.  But if you ever see Crafty play a game and you'd like to see
the log file, you only have to ask.

I can't speak for others.  But yes, a log file could help someone understand
more about the insides of your program.  IE this would be one reason to not
give your opponent copies of the logs while a match is in progress...
