I was thinking of it from the point of view of someone wanting
traditional syslog behavior could "yum install syslog", which would get
something that writes /var/log/<foo> (which won't happen with the
current setup).

I would consider something that handles the syslog() library call (and
so /dev/log) to be enough of the traditional Unix core that it shouldn't
need a requires.
