This sounds like a very good idea ;-)

Recommended text:

SUSE Linux 10.1 now uses syslog-ng by default because it allows better filtering of log messages.

If you do an upgrade and still use syslogd, we will not change your settings. However, we recommend to switch to syslog-ng by setting
    SYSLOG_DAEMON="syslog-ng"
in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.

Ok.
Comment 2 Hendrik Vogelsang 2006-04-17 11:35:59 UTC 
we use syslog-ng as default since 9.3 guys...
Comment 3 Karl Eichwalder 2006-04-18 08:57:13 UTC 
comment #2 makes me believe that we do not add it to the RNs.  The manual resp. the SDB should be adjusted instead if not already done.
Comment 4 Andreas Jaeger 2006-04-18 09:05:59 UTC 
Yes, let'S close this as WONTFIX.
