Hi,

Currently ansible will spam syslog with all of the execution logs. Setting `no_log: True` in `ansible.cfg` is too global and disable much more than the syslog.

It seems that extending a condition in log function of basic.py would do.

I reported that to github issue tracker, but it was closed as user question(?) so let me ask for the feature here.
