| In the good old days, syslog-ng was the default. Then, for one of the |
| 8 |
| releases, the x86 team accidentally included metalog instead of |
| 9 |
| syslog-ng on the distfiles CD, so the default was changed over to make |
| 10 |
| the x86 networkless install documentation work (at the expense of the |
| 11 |
| archs that got it right). So, it's not a case of moving away from |
| 12 |
| metalog at all, it's a case of undoing a temporary change. |

In the bad old days, metalog was the default. Then it got switched to |
| 15 |
syslog-ng because people got confused as hell by metalog's buffering, |
| 16 |
and there was no reason not to use a more capable logger that's |
| 17 |
compatible with the traditional sysklogd, minus the annoying feature of |
| 18 |
metalog. |

FWIW, I think metalog's buffering disappeared a while back, at least by |
| 21 |
default. |
