shipping an /etc/init.d/rsyslog with default options set to enabled +
service rsyslog start in %post is not OK ?

You make the assumption that rawhide users will know about the
replacement and activate rsyslogd manually. I bet most of them will
blindly do yum -y update <insert your favorite other options here> and
cry afterwards. Do not assume that they are subscribed to fedora mailing
lists. Most of them are not. Or at least almost none of those I
personally know in the RLUG community, to be more correct.
