The point is, with the journal and it's binary format, you do not need
to write a parser anymore for any daemon. All the information is logged
in a common and standardized format.
The very same code parses all your Apache log messages and all your
Exim log messages. And you can just go ahead and query the journal
about error messages conveniently like a database.
Not having to write a parser is without doubt easier than having
to write one at all.
