As for the modernization of log files you talked about off the record: It would be really modern to not impose any maximum line length by set setting max_line_length to, say, 1e9. And to do that for all engines, not just luatex.
The other engines are more frozen than luatex; although we aim at tex engine compatibility (and achieve extensibility via callbacks) this is not true for the system dependent properties as i/o (and of course one can just stick to using pdftex or use xetex as wide engine). (Concerning parsing logs: as the cnf is under user control you cannot assume that the log lines are the same always, as some users can set them different; i always did. So log file parsers should be flexible in this respect.)
