What I mean is after your patch it would be like:

subsys1: ...
...
framework1: ...
...
subsys2: ...
...

What I meant is what you can see in any current log, something like:

subsys1: ...
...
FRAMEWORK1: ...
...
subsys2: ...
...

When you see such on a long screen, you can momentarely put your eyes
on string in question.
