I did see this.  I didn't know how to interpret it.
May I change a slight change in wording?  A bit more direct for people less
familiar with (r)syslog-specifics?

e.g.
action '*' treated as ':omusrmsg:*' - please change syntax, '*' will not be
supported in the future

vs.

action '*' treated as ':omusrmsg:*' - please use ":omusrmsg:" syntax
instead, '*' will not be supported in the future

This is a bit more direct and informative IMHO.  It's not telling me just
that there is a problem - it's telling me what to do to fix it.
