Bringing syslog-ng into the fold [FC6 ?]

[Stephen J. Smoogen]

One of the things we have to do at our sites is remove the Red
Hat/Fedora syslog services and replace them with syslog-ng. The TCP
part, the better message congestion issues, and the better ability to
group logging together is really needed by larger sites. [We have
found that the lossiness of regular syslog can get black marks on
reviews.] A long time ago, it was proposed for inclusion around Red
Hat Linux 6.0 but was considered too unstable and some other issues.

Could it be evaluated again for either for replacing the older syslog
system or working the syslog system so that alternatives could cover
it with syslog-ng in extras? What issues would need to be done to help
this along?

Thanks.
