It would be a huge help to have something about socket passing mentioned somewhere on the appropriate (imuxsock?) module page. Using myself as an example of a new user, I have now spent quite a bit of time totally confused puzzling over the default configurations for rsyslog under Fedora 20
Michael's description above is correct; the socket is not used, the service shouldn't be aliased to a syslog.service (thought that symlink might have persisted from the previous version).
imuxsock isn't actually configured to do anything useful with the default Fedora config file. It is only loaded to parse the contents of /etc/rsyslog.d/listen.conf[0]. That file was supplied by the systemd package to define the path to the system socket. So "$ModLoad imuxsock" and "$OmitLocalLogging on" are there only to accommodate for another package submitting a piece of configuration.
In Rawhide, systemd has dropped that file and those lines are no longer necessary.
