Interestingly, I installed Fedora 16 on two machines. One was an upgrade and the other was a clean install. On both systems, /var/log/boot.log has length 0 and hasn't changed since the installation. The clean install was done mainly for testing purposes. I didn't change the set of packages at all, just used the installer's "Graphical workstation" selection. I haven't even run "yum update" on it. Do you have any idea how your startup messages are getting into the system log? I looked through the source code for systemd, and those messages really are sent directly to /dev/console. They are not subject to any redirection through config settings, environment variables, or command-line overrides.
