Taking them to a separate logster page might be bad, but it’s been the practice for a decade.

There’s a way to navigate there from the admin page, but no way to find it from the sidebar, so the sidebar removes the ability for a normal person to be able to find the logs. I just tried to help someone with a new site and they have turned on the sidebar and now they have zero chance of finding `/logs`. They have to know they want to go there and type it in by hand. This particular admin is not likely ever to do that.

So there _is_ a way to get to `/logs` from the sidebar? I don’t know what a “horizontal menu” is, maybe?
