this works of course and it doesn't affect current workflows while allowing
for inactive repeating timestamps.

the caveat would be that in the case of repeating timestamps, setting both
`org-log-into-drawer' and `org-repeat-inactive-timestamps' to a true value
will overwrite "Rescheduling" entries from the :LOGBOOK:.  in some limited
sense the two are incompatible (which would require the verbatim syntax).

with that understanding, and the fact that repeating inactive timestamps is
a new "feature" my vote is for `org-repeat-inactive-timestamps'.  this
leaves room down the road, should the need arise, for verbatim syntax in
log entries.
