This is not really an argument, or it is valid for any changes. What about the switch from up2date to yum years ago? I know, I first tried to run up2date before being shout at that it's normal it does not work anymore since yum is there. What about the future change from yum to dnf? Should we try to keep both in place just because google has more reference to yum?
So, the fact that tutorials and blogs are mentioning /var/log/messages is not a valid argument :)
You still have not addressed the third party programs and scripts that monitor /var/log/messages
As mentioned before, if people run programs that require /var/log/messages they should simply install rsyslog and be done with it.
