It was never used for more than some exception information, but it required a complete fhandler class on its own. I wanted to get rid of the useless code. Inetutils is an orphaned package (and rightfully so). If you think you need inetutils and especially syslogd, I suggest to take over maintainance of that package and tweak syslogd so it doesn't require /dev/kmsg anymore.
