Uncommon dependencies for not widely used/useful features.
I think that a libdw dependency is justifiable because it provides stack 
traces which may be invaluable for debugging a crash, but so far 
http-based forwarding of logs does not appear to be very popular.
Is it enabled at all in RHEL7? This could be a good benchmark.

Me neither.

It would surely be beneficial if the users arguing for support of this 
feature could document its popularity.
