AFAIK, there are no others depending on it, so it can't really break a lot of stuff. Also, I tested the package heavily, not just updated, and no problems came up during testing. Version 2.X of syslog-ng, which is currently included in Fedora, is now obsolate. The current release is 3.1.1, this is the version I prepared for Fedora. And it is not just a random wish: I did the update for openSUSE and FreeBSD, where they are accepted already and in use. Gentoo, Arch, Mandriva, Debian, Ubuntu, NetBSD, Solaris, etc. all did the switch at least in their devel versions for the above reasons. Only Fedora is missing from the list...
