/var/log/messages is empty

I just had occasion to look at /var/log/messages for the first time in a
while and there's nothing in it. I think this dates from my updating F14
to F15.
/etc/syslog.conf looks normal. This is the relevant stanza:
# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages
Also, /lib/systemd/systemd-kmsg-syslogd is running.
I have never touched any part of the syslog configuration since first
starting to use Fedora years ago, so there's no a priori reason it
should suddenly stop working, but I assume systemd has something to do
with it.
Anyone know the magic incantation?
