I would like to ask FESCo to review this Change proposal:
Currently Fedora uses RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat as a default format for timestamps in its logs. There is missing year and timezone. This proposal aims to change this by adopting ISO 8601 and RFC 3339 compliant timestamp format known as RSYSLOG_FileFormat instead of current RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat.

* AGREED: FESCo requests that the Change owners update the proposal with a much more detailed "Benefit to Fedora" section as well as clearly identifying affected packages and processes that would need to be updated if the change occurs. (+1:5, -1:0, +0:0)

@rpavelka and @rsroka
Any update on this issue for today's FESCo meeting?
I was checking logcheck and it will break it, because it is basically collection of regexps, lot of them looks like:
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ su\[[0-9]+\]: pam_authenticate: Authentication failure$
So ti depends on precise log format including timestamp format.
BTW logcheck is broken anyway, just composing mails on this + lot of work I am paid for.
@rsroka FYI
@jsmith, @kevin thanks for info
