This preserves the ABI, but would this not break the API?

Anyway, frankly, I do not see why was osm_log_init_v2 added into 1.1 at all.
We are in code freeze, only critical fixes are supposed to be applied to branch
at this stage. How was adding osm_log_init_v2 critical?

Nor is this feature uncontroversial. Would not support for log rotation
be better?

So - why are all these changes going into 1.1 branch?
