this is the point that worries me.  a change is being proposed in a data
file, and it is being assumed that syslogd(8) is the only program which
reads that file.  as syslog.conf(5) has been documented publicly, i would be
more cautious about changing the definition, for mere cosmetic not emergency
reasons, without widely published warning well in advance.
