This is being done for the next (as yet unnumbered) OSx release. All system
security and logging facilities and being integrated under syslog (dmesg goes
away), which gives you an amazing amount of control over what's logged and
what isn't. To be consistent, UUCP security and panic messages should go into
syslog too (4.3BSD Tahoe does this), although I am vascilating over that one. 
I rather like the old ERRLOG file.
