Still useless: it is not the attacks that you know about and that show
themselves as errors in your logs (and filter from the log, that is the
only gain), but those where you have a real security hole that you have
to worry about. And those will be exploited from one of the many other
bots in the hackers botnet. 
An empty log may give you a nice feeling of security, but it is false...
A lot of work, but very little if any gain.
