The package is considered production quality by Redhat (not that this
means ANYTHING...) I've locally converted exim, apache, and a couple
other things to it.  Seems to work fine.

Would like to hear about other people's experiences with it of course. 
The issue is that uploading packages that use it would mean uploading
packages that violate current log rotation policy.  =p
