I second that. rsyslog is the default syslog daemon for a long time in
various distros.

2007, Fedora 8
2008, Ubuntu
2009, Debian Lenny, OpenSUSE 11.2
2010, RHEL 6

RHEL 5 has rsyslog packaged and supported too (not sure if it is the default).

For at least three years major distros use rsyslog by default.

And much better.

I vote for the complete removal of the traditional syslog in favor of
rsyslog. The the lastest release of sysklogd was near 5 years ago. [1]
