For example, firewall log entries used to fill up the /var/log/warn file. 
By using the new daemon it is possible to filter them out and send then to 
a new separate file of their own.

For example, my mail.info file was being filled with stupid debug messages 
from amavis-new. No longer, I filtered them out. I learned how to do that 
in less than two hours on my own.

If you don't like the new daemon, you can easily enough revert to the old 
one.
