There is something else that should be done. The syslog network protocol should be changed (or, rather, a new one defined) that contains *both* the formatted message *and* its facility, priority, format string and args, cleanly separated, and syslog() tweaked to generate that. Then syslog consumers can do proper classification without needing to bother with all this UUID nonsense, nor with (as now) some horrific scheme involving analyzing large numbers of messages (or by-hand work) to figure out which bit of them is the format string and which bit is not.
