Yes.

The basic requirement is simple: better logging. Naturally the
design is simple too: a function for the better logging. (I put it
into a namespace to make room for its brother, a commit message from
the admin.) E_USR and analogically y2user(fmt, ...) seems to imply
the constraints shared by the other logging functions: the same log
file, the same format...

I forgot to mention that I assume it will use a different log file
(and additionally use y2log too probably) so that people do not have
to call grep to make sense of it.
