As there have been no objections, the BOM insertion code has been removed from SysLogHandler; these changes will appear in Python 2.7.4, Python 3.2.4, Python 3.3 and later versions. If you do need a BOM inserted into the message sent to your syslog daemon, a cookbook recipe will shortly appear telling you how to do this.
