Log pages are a pain. They quickly get too long to load comfortably, so
people end up manually editing them to archive the information, but
attributions of edits are lost when the next automatic edit overwrites
it.
They can't be programmatically resorted or filtered very easily. And
the upload log makes Special:Unusedimages rather hit-and-miss by
linking to every uploaded file...
