That sounds like a reasonable idea, though I don't know how to implement
it in swift -- we'd have hundreds of nodes all wanting to append to
something around the same time, and I'm not sure swift is designed for
that model.

However, at the very worst, we could probably have Zuul write that sort
of thing to a log file.  At least we'd have the data preserved.
