(Snipped excellent description of the issues)
Steve - thank you very much for the clear, concise description - this is basically what I got from Gerard on IRC, but there's no way I could have worded it as well as you have. It is true that sysklogd was mostly removed out of LFS due to lack of maintainership, which, as pointed out by Jim and Steve, is no longer the case. Syslog-ng, at the time, seemed like a decent replacement, even with the need to incorporate the libol library. Given the circumstances, my personal opinion is that LFS should switch back as soon as possible, preferably before another release. I'm sure that Jim Gifford, as the hint maintainer for syslog-ng upon which our current book instructions are based, will continue to maintain that hint for those who wish to still use this package.
