Hello Martin, It is not pleasant to me that most comprehensible unix subsystem - syslog - will grow to multipurpose monster.
More pleasant to here about careful redesign of syslogd that make available various plugins|additional daemons each of which adds well-defined functionality. I dislike many features living in one binary file. Especially when this binary will do one thing for me - write messages to file. Sorry, but when i imagine one more software to scrub from cool features i become more sad.
