Yeah ... go for it, please. Make sure to MT5 it as well.

Anything we should clean up here, or is appropriate cleanup code below the
daemon-loop?

We don't have a "daemon.*" facility in the FreeBSD syslog.conf by default. It
seems to be consensus (for some reason) to not add it by default. At least a
commit doing this has been backed out again (7 years ago). If you want the
pflogd(8) messages stored, you have to add something like:
daemon.* /var/log/daemon
to your /etc/syslog.conf ... not sure if there is a better way at this point.
