As I recall, there was a (somewhat) consensus that
the intent of zeromq and mythlogserver was good
(it allows the program to get the (usually important)
last few messages out when the program crashes),
there were various real world issues that caused
some issues, and then the primary dev left the project,
so the default was changed to disabled.  There was
(I think) some hope that someone would get motivated
to restart the work, but that has not happened TTBOMK.

Personally (and I have zero input into the project
priorities/efforts) I think the time has come to delete
the remaining remnants of mythlogserver (deleting
the code does not remove the code from the repo,
should someone decided to revert the commit because
they are going to work on it).  But then I also think
the time has come to delete any remaining XvMC
configs and code.  But other than those who have
historical configuration specifications (rather than
letting MythTV config make the decisions), neither
tend to hurt anyone.
