Laziness is not a virtue in an engineer, Larry's cute aphorism 
not withstanding.

Seems to me going back through the archives to try to make sense
out of what all was done is considerably more work than logging
the important bits in a journal as they happen.  Particularly
considering not every interesting thing that happens gets
mentioned on the wire.
Now maybe I'm being presumptuous about what the pumpking is or
isn't already doing; but I would just hope that, as lead 
engineer, he's doing at least this.
On the other hand, if it is firmly believed that the sort of
things we're now doing on perl1 have never been done before
and will never be done again, then, sure, screw the log.
