First of all, I find this odd.  The update to F22 should have resulted in an update from rsyslog-7.4.10-5.fc21.x86_64 to rsyslog-8.8.0-2.fc22.x86_64 with the PID now being /var/run/rsyslogd.pid.

And, note there is a BZ on this, one should edit /etc/logrotate.d/syslog to reflect the change.

Not sure about that at the moment.
