I just read that Fedora has decided to take the plunge and replace
sysklogd as their default syslog.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Issue94#head-f55df1c4e39b27afc053b435a85088e5aec25a84

Anyway, they've decided to use rsyslog since it maintains a compatible
interface to sysklogd and the conf file wouldn't have to change.

I haven't looked into it yet, but it seems promising and active.
