That terribly sounds like "my way or the high way".
Many people have raised concerns not only about having /var/log/messages
in the base installation but about needing/wanting *simple text* logs by
default as well.
I for one, advocate against having to use a (forced)tool to read log
files.
So do I.
IMO, log files need to be readable without any special tools, because
log files often are being read in cases of emergencies/breakdown
(occasionally even from other OSes), when one can not rely on the tools
being available or usable.
