I think it would make more sense to remove them.

You will need to make it a v2 patch so it supersedes this one automatically in patchwork.

I think that the point of the 'if' statement is to clean up the Section display for entries from 'kernel: ippp\d' and 'kernel: isdn.*' matches for RED, but I don't know why adding the timestamp to the front of data would be desirable in that specific case.  I don't have any log entries to reference for that though.

I hadn't seen the special processing for the RED section logs.

I would leave it as you have done it then unless Michael or Arne or Peter come back further on  this.

Let's keep it simple for now.
