I mean, it's not like there's not really a use case for syslogd on a
single-user desktop either, right? ;-)
(I'm actually serious. If you're going to break cron and logwatch, why
keep syslogd around? I'd love to see a reasonable argument for keeping
one and not the other.)
I'd agree that syslogd and system mail are equally disposable if you
know no one cares about reading them, but syslog's output at least gets
some automated maintenance from logrotate. Root's mailbox was left
stranded when you started discouraging anyone from logging in as root.
