 Replying to [comment:5 cjb]:
 > Would the log in (1) survive even if we didn't use a watchdog and asked
 people to reboot by powering off and (quickly) back on?

 Generally yes.  It takes several seconds of no-refresh before memory
 starts to degrade, and even then you don't lose bits very fast.

 Losing a few bits in the log wouldn't render it useless anyway.
