The situation is the same as it is for EPEL: cloud-init depends on rsyslog for its /etc/rsyslog.d directory, per the packaging guidelines. It does not require rsyslog to be running, and as such, a spin may disable rsyslog if needed. Are we still doing conditional entries in comps? If so, then perhaps it might make sense to add a single-file cloud-init-rsyslog subpackage to @standard, contingent on cloud-init being installed. Then installs that pull in cloud-init and the rsyslog-using @standard will get the currently-expected behavior. I don't know if that works in comps anymore. I'll check. I think it's kind of silly for a package to rely on an abstracted log interface (like syslog) and then also provide the configuration for that service in the same package. If the intent is to get cloud-init messages right into a specific file and nowhere else (which is the shipped config), why bother with going through syslog?

The intent is the converse: to provide a default configuration when rsyslog happens to be the running syslog daemon. Unlike a built-in logging setup, this results in a setup that people can tweak to their liking with all of rsyslog's considerable power. Of course, the side effect of this is that if you're using a different syslog daemon you might experience different results. In that case, feel free to file a bug or submit a patch to add support for another syslogd.

Or, alternately, actually getting this put into _rsyslog's_ default configuration. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 20 development cycle.
