This is one point, the other one is logfile rotating.

The default way for openkpg packages is to rotate the logfiles and restart the 
servers every night. As we have heavy traffic and critical applications we 
cannot go offline. So wie modified fsl-descriptions to use "jitter" and 
"monitor" to allow for rotating without restart.

But this does not work for all applications (e.g. spamassassin).
I think about disabling fsl and moving to syslog-ng. Your thoughts?
