Why does `log_slow_queries` break `my.cnf`?

Question

Why can\'t I use slow_query_log on MySQL 5.6 on CentOS 6.4?

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
...

## Logging

## *** THESE LOGS W

Looks like MySQL changed the format. Now it's slow_query_log not log_slow_queries.

This works:

slow_query_log                  = 1
slow_query_log_file             = /var/log/mysql/slow.log
long_query_time                 = 5
