Is this of any importance? May be you should think about the reasons we are using Fedora and are not using openSUSE.
That said Fedora should draw its own decisions and not try to be an imitation cult.
Well given that one of the cases complaining against the change stated how they liked how they could grab a linux system and grep /var/log/messages and it's a defacto standard that shouldn't change and so on .... yes I'd say that would be of importance as a counter point.
