I think right now, things are a bit verbose to just be doing everything
via syslog -- it'd be kind of like sending all of your apache logs to
syslog.  Things would just get overrun to the point of being less
useful.

Having the logs split out is actually kind of nice from my point of view
-- I just want them a little bit more so :-)
