In this case something that can be done for me personally, but
not in the mode itself.

No. Tried now, it works.
Several questions though.
* I see that manually evaluating `(setq-local long-line-threshold
nil)' in a buffer where the optimization is already in effect (i.e.
where `(long-line-optimizations-p)' evaluates to t) doesn't disable
the optimization. Do you have a solution for that? Depending on the
mode being activated before Emacs decides to enable the optimization
(e.g. because on of the first lines is very long, I don't know how
exactly this is determined) seems very shaky. Also, what if someone
opens file `my-log-with-funny-extension.records' and then manually
activates Logview mode?
* I briefly looked at the branch `feature/improved-narrowed-locking'
and saw that locking grew "tags". This probably implies that this is
going to be used more in the future, maybe already in Emacs 29.1. Is
there going to be some way to disable each and every new tag? Should I
monitor Emacs sources for new cases of narrowed locking with a tag
previously not used? What if one day this becomes available to Elisp
and a submode that decides to narrow-lock for whatever reason? How
could I prevent that?
* Wouldn't something like
(let ((disable-locked-narrowing-yes-i-know-this-is-bad-but-still t))
(widen)
...
)
not be much more robust?
