Hi all,
I know this comes from upstream (and most likely from the rsyslog
project itself), but what's your opinion about Google Ads in system documentation files?

I find it rather disconcerting if there are commercial ads embedded in
help texts I find on my open source servers.
"Disconcerting" isn't the word I would use. Completely unacceptable is what I'd say. I think it's time to put in a bug report to upstream.... I need to check with my manager.
I do note this is not the case in rsyslog on CentOS 7.
