[syslog-ng] 3.36.1 new log format of some internal messages

[Evan Rempel]

syslog-ng  version 3.36.1 has introduced an additional time stamp in 
some of its internally generated log messages.

[2022-04-05T07:10:27.574110] WARNING: Configuration file format is too 
old, syslog-ng is running in compatibility mode. Please update it to use 
the syslog-ng 3.36 format at your time of convenience. To upgrade the 
configuration, please review the warnings about incompatible changes 
printed by syslog-ng, and once completed change the @version header at 
the top of the configuration file; config-version='3.34'

In the past this log message would have been formatted as

WARNING: Configuration file format is too old, syslog-ng is running in 
compatibility mode. Please update it to use the syslog-ng 3.36 format at 
your time of convenience. To upgrade the configuration, please review 
the warnings about incompatible changes printed by syslog-ng, and once 
completed change the @version header at the top of the configuration 
file; config-version='3.34'

Is this intentional?

Why is it not consistent with other internal messages such as

syslog-ng starting up; version='3.36.1'


Another thing of note is that the configuration warning is actually 
logged via journald while all other internal messages are only available 
in the syslog-ng log streams sourcing "internal()"
