I know the mailing list shouldn't turn into a bug spammers paradise, but this bug is perhaps a good example of a bug that could be handled a little better: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=151238
Taking patches; the issue is that the system has changed enough in the interim (between udev, SELinux, etc.) that the old code no longer is a drop-in replacement.
If it was kept in the distro, then the code would have been incremtally improved and fixed to keep it working.
Further updates to the bug aren't really useful until work is being done on it.
This is a moot point because support for boot.log should never have been dropped until the replacement was ready.
