That's not needed. The proposal is to replace the syslog-ng port with the 
contents of syslog-ng329 and deprecate the others. Those using 
sysutils/syslog-ng will see no change. Those using older versions will need 
to replace syslog-ngNN with simply syslog-ng.

I could be wrong but it's my impression that the Linux community has 
embraced rsyslog over syslog-ng. We at $JOB have.
