I'm not sure I agree with that. Things are certainly different now than
they were 25 years ago, but not always for the better. In today's world,
syslog would probably be implemented with XML or something else equally
unsuited to the task.

Syslog certainly has its problems, and they need addressing. But I'm just
uncomfortable with this attitude that because something's been around for
a while, it needs reimplementing completely from scratch, rather than just
taking what you've already got and fixing the deficiencies.
