In 9f6fbb3 a workaround for crazy out-of-sync kernel timestamps was added. The support is unconditional, meaning as soon as syslogd has started up and emptied the kernel ring buffer, it goes into a new mode of operation where kernel timestamps are ignored and the current time is used instead.
This behavior may not be what most user expect, so an advanced option to disable this behavior could be useful.
