It is intentional, AFAIK.
An alternative for the paranoid perhaps would be to make an additional fs
(in fossil) containing the log files. This fs could be set to accept only
the hostowner's credentials for attach requests. The hostowner, meanwhile,
when constructing namespaces, could bind the right file(s) into the log
directory. I haven't thought it through in more detail than that, but if I
were to engineer a replacement, that's how I'd start. HTH.
