I have not forgotten about this PR :)

We're currently in a QA cycle for 11.2 (which I don't believe includes the
RFC5424 support?), but once that's done I'll spin up a test machine on -STABLE
and test it against logstash.

Our plan is to switch to RFC 5424 style messages anyway when we move to 11.3 or
12.0 & that eliminates the need for this fix on our end & I'm fine hotfixing
our local syslogd until then.


I do see the logic in keeping RFC 3164 support as-is (since most folks will
probably move to the new format) or making it a 12.0 item (since it introduces
incompatibility with old syslogd).
If it stays as-is that probably merits a note/erratum in the manpage for the
next person who stumbles on this when they set up centralized logging in a
heterogeneous environment.
