is much less of a "necessity" than other things the journal provides,
which syslog does not: for example per-service rate limits, and
unfakable meta-data for log messages. I mean, really, how can we ship
a syslog where every random user can fake messages, say they are from a
privileged process and offer no way how to detect that?
To settle this discussion as well I've now implemented time-based
rotation for the journal as well, and this will also hit F18 soonishly.
