That change also means that anybody who has automated management of
their syslog configuration must modify their scripts to take those
changes into account (and if they run F7 machines at the same time, do
some ugly logic)

It would be much gentler if rsyslogd would initially use the exact same
files as sysklogd and let users shuffle things around when they are
ready for that transition.
