Sure. The date should be calculated just once.
Keep in mind that this is legacy though. Anybody found to not be using
logd should be taken out and educated.
If anything, what I'd like even more to see is automatically defaulting
to the Linux-HA logging relay daemon ;-), and if that's not configured
explicitly but debuglog and logfile are, to auto-feed these to the
logging system configuration.
Nobody should not be using the logging daemon.
