Description
On RHCOS, s390x Secure Execution must disable Ignition logging to maintain system integrity. The current code (from https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-config/pull/1939) must add a drop-in to each of the Ignition stages:
Environment=IGNITION_ARGS=-log-to-stdout
StandardOutput=null
StandardError=null
and that requires hardcoding the list of stages. Consider providing a unified mechanism to disable logging across an entire Ignition run.

Define how a single configuration mechanism would apply across an entire Ignition run, then verify that logging can be disabled for every stage without requiring a hardcoded stage list.
