I do this, too.  Not just because it makes log analysis easier, but
also because sometimes "things" get renamed or changed, which means
that either your firewall rulebase gets out of sync (if it doesn't
automatically learn the change) or it says something you did not
directly review (if it does automatically learn the change.)
