If consensus is that Jason's suggestion is the right mix between
readability and length, maybe we should wait for oslo-logging to support
kwargs, rather than start fixing locals() now and be left with a mix of
various solutions (% {}, % dict(), kwargs and locals()).
I'd prefer to have one true recommended solution to replace the
confusing one, rather than just say the confusing one is now officially
bad practice, and let people go wild with various solutions.
