how to select for non-volatile /var/log?

how to select for non-volatile /var/log?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i recall, once upon a time, a discussion of how to best support a
non-volatile /var/log directory:

https://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/90151/

  whatever became of that? is there a single OE setting that would
implement non-volatile logging? i remember the reference to a
VOLATILE_LOG_DIR variable, but nothing ever came of that.

A more recent, but also still unmerged patch for this functionality is
here: https://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/90839/

  "more recent" would appear to be a relative term, since the date on
that is may of 2015. it seems that this topic comes up every so often,
then just dies. so is there any *current* discussion to add this
feature? be nice if this issue was just resolved, one way or the
other.

It was reposted late last year, I just didn't pick the more recent entry
in patchwork. Here's the current one:
https://patchwork.openembedded.org/series/4028/
