While you could probably do something like this with FUSE, it would be a hack, and it would also interfere with other logs under /var/log that are not syslog-related.
Oh I do agree. This is a difficult problem to solve, which is why I so strongly oppose creating it. Especially when duplicate log storage is such a trivial price to pay for backwards compatibility.
