[rpm-packaging] logging override in openstack packages

Hello,

There is a logging override in almost all openstack packages, for 
example in nova:

https://opendev.org/openstack/rpm-packaging/src/branch/stable/victoria/openstack/nova/openstack-nova.defaultconf 
<https://opendev.org/openstack/rpm-packaging/src/branch/stable/victoria/openstack/nova/openstack-nova.defaultconf>

It lands in /etc/nova/nova.conf.d/010-nova.conf as stated in the spec:

https://opendev.org/openstack/rpm-packaging/src/branch/stable/victoria/openstack/nova/nova.spec.j2#L407 
<https://opendev.org/openstack/rpm-packaging/src/branch/stable/victoria/openstack/nova/nova.spec.j2#L407>

Let's assume following scenario: in kolla-ansible based deployment I 
want to disable logging globally using /etc/kolla/config/global.conf:

[DEFAULT]
log_dir =
log_file =

For kolla images built from RPMs, the file 
'/etc/nova/nova.conf.d/010-nova.conf' will override what I want to 
achieve by global.conf.

We have a situation when kolla images log inside the container into 
'/var/log/nova' where there is no log rotation. There is no easy way to 
change that in kolla-ansible based deployments.

Is there any specific reason why default logging has been hardcoded like 
that? Can we agree to change that situation to be able to override 
logging as expected?
