Do you have many recent examples? We also liberally stole from the
GNU coding conventions, but they have evolved to fit our style. Just
as we still have many "spaces before parens" in our code, I'm not
suggesting we "fix" old log messages, but that we pick the format
which is vastly prevalent presently, and standardize on it moving
forward.
But in the end, it's a bikeshed issue, and I've got bigger fish to
fry, so I'm not going to press it. :)
