Ok I will change it. I do want it to hit the file logs, that would solve two problems cake developers work around right now. The first is the inability to see query logs during an ajax request (without FirePHP) and the other is removing the need to extend the Dbo (as people do now) to log queries in production. As it is only in debug mode there is no actual harm and we will soon merge the file rotation thing so files will not grow like crazy.

As an alternative approach we could add to log an option to ignore certain scopes too...
