It might help if you detailed exactly what "funny states" you have seen 
svlogd in. And what changes it "fails to pick up". If it doesn't start at 
all then perhaps what is at fault is what is supposed to start it - a run 
script, for instance, might not be executable, or have bad syntax, etc.

One reason would be historical - runit in large part is a drop-in 
replacement for daemontools, and daemontools does not implement the 
logging daemon in supervise. There are certainly more reasons, of course.
