I think kind of like having the certificates being handled as files by
default. However, I see that most people who run clusters in production
do not want that information in files.log. So - from my point of view,
it might make sense to have a policy script that filters certificates
from files.log and adds the hashes to x509.log; and we have that
auto-loaded by default in local.bro.
Would that make sense?
