[bind10-dev] changing brief description of log message require new message ID?

If the format of the logged brief description changes, then possibly a 
log parser may break or get wrong data.

Should we document a decision that if a log message's brief description 
changes, we require a new message ID?

Note this is not for the longer description which is not logged.

You can see example in my commit 1e702fae4c9adbd7134a739dee28c868a15f0b3e

initializing RRset cache for IN RRsets of class 10000

initializing RRset cache for 10000 RRsets of class IN
    
(I already fixed that problem but chose to keep same message ID since it 
is not production yet.)
