Do we have any examples of other projects/commands following this
pattern? To me, this is very counter intuitive. CLI arguments,
regardless of who/what supplies them are almost always given then
highest precedence (to my knowledge).

This particular use case seems to be necessary in order to have
"../nova/api.log" rather than the default, "../nova/nova-api.log". Correct?

I wonder if there is a better way to achieve this, rather than supplying
it as a CLI argument? For example, Ubuntu's nova-compute upstart config
has this:

> exec start-stop-daemon --start --chuid nova --exec
/usr/bin/nova-compute -- --config-file=/etc/nova/nova.conf
--config-file=/etc/nova/nova-compute.conf

Could Fedora supply the logfile argument in a service specific config
file instead of a hardcoded CLI argument?
