# Objective
Current way to wire `Layer`s together using `layer.with(new_layer)` in
the `bevy_log` plugin is brittle and not flexible. As #17722
demonstrated, the current solution makes it very hard to do any kind of
advanced wiring, as the type system of `tracing::Subscriber` gets in the
way very quickly (the type of each new layer depends on the type of the
previous ones). We want to make it easier to have more complex wiring of
`Layers`. It would be hard to solve #19085 without it
## Solution
It aims to be functionally equivalent.
- Replace of using `layer.with(new_layer)` . We now add `layer.boxed()`
to a `Vec<BoxedLayer>`. It is a solution recommended by
`tracing_subscriber::Layer` for complex wiring cases (See
https://docs.rs/tracing-subscriber/latest/tracing_subscriber/layer/index.html#runtime-configuration-with-layers)
- Do some refactoring and clean up that is now enabled by the new
solution
## Testing
- Ran CI locally on Linux
- Ran the logs examples
- Need people familiar with the features `trace`, `tracing-chrome`,
`tracing-tracy` to check that it still works as expected
- Need people with access to `ios`, `android` and `wasm` to check it as
well.
