Thinking about this fragemnt:

+      syslog_facility = LOG_USER Syslog message facility
+      syslog_priority = LOG_INFO Syslog message priority

I wonder if it should be hardcoded, or merely defaulted and 
over-rideable in the yum.conf file.  Possibly validation that 
a permitted value from the facility and priority lists from 
man 5 syslog.conf (possible by populating a pair of allowable 
values, and verifying that a yum.conf value exists in that 
particular array)
