As there have been no objections, the BOM insertion code has been removed from
SysLogHandler; these changes will appear in Python 2.7.4, Python 3.2.4, Python
3.3 and later versions.

If you do need a BOM inserted into the message sent to your syslog daemon, a
cookbook recipe will shortly appear telling you how to do this.
