One question that's been coming to my mind in the journald parts of
these discussions, that I don't remember having seen addressed in these
"there will still be text logs" assurances:

What is the log flow here? Specifically, does the logged information
flow from source - that is, from the process generating the message
which gets logged - to journald and also, separately, from source to
syslog (presumably in the form of rsyslogd), or does it flow from source
to journald to syslog? (Or something else? Or am I missing / making an
assumption that turns this into a stupid question?)
