Why shall we mention it?  Does it behave differently?  Where can the user find more info?  Without additional info, I just could add:

===================================================================
Switching from syslog-ng to rsyslog

rsyslog is now the default tool to log system messages, replacing
syslog-ng.  Adjust your old syslog-ng setup, if needed.
==================================================================

I wouldn't say adjusting is needed. Replace the second sentense with something along the lines of "You can still use syslog-ng if you have a setup that relies on it". Updates do not touch it.

This is good news.  My proposal:

Switching from syslog-ng to rsyslog

rsyslog is now the default tool to log system messages, replacing
syslog-ng. You can still use syslog-ng, if you have a setup that relies
on it.

Comment #3 sounds perfect to me! Although most people wouldn't read release notes anyway, getting a clue about things that have changed from the release notes is very helpful (such as no longer enabling sshd by default). Thanks!
Comment 5 Karl Eichwalder 2009-11-16 12:59:27 UTC 
Ok, it's in:

  <!-- bnc#555580 -->
  <sect3>
   <title>Switching from syslog-ng to rsyslog</title>
   <para>
<systemitem>rsyslog</systemitem> is now the default tool to log system
messages, replacing <systemitem>syslog-ng</systemitem>. You can still use
<systemitem>syslog-ng</systemitem>, if you have a setup that relies on it.
</para>
