Are there any arguments against using rsyslog in LFS?

You may say "Sysklogd does it's job. So why changing something?" ...

But then we could say "GRUB Legacy does it's job. So why upgrading to 
GRUB 2?", too.
In my opinion, LFS should be a modern and up-to-date distribution. But 
the code of Sysklogd is not maintained anymore.

If we're deciding to use rsyslog, this may help a bit: 
http://cross-lfs.org/view/svn/x86/final-system/rsyslog.html ...

Another good solution might be dropping out Sysklogd and using syslogd 
from the Inetutils package instead. This implemenation can process 
kernel messages, too. And we just need to keep one daemon running.
