Well, one thing is that it *will* cause existing installations to  
break, where upslog is started as 'root' and the NUT user doesn't have  
write permissions to the log file. Obviously, send upslog a SIGHUP in  
such case would effectively kill it (because it can't reopen the log),  
but I know of at least one distribution (SuSE) that had a default  
setup exactly like that. We've seen people complain about this  
behavior before, so in all likelihood, it is being used in the field.

Best regards, Arjen
