Yes!!! As an admin I personally think this would rock. Other stuff uses
local6 and it makes it a pain for logging things clearly. While we're at it,
the cyrus process 'master' should be 'cymaster' or some other such name as
to avoid having postfix 'master' and cyrus 'master' processes running. This
can be confusing to some init scripts, like Red Hat 6.2.
