For individual systems, not running an additional daemon and not wasting space on disk doesn't seem to be that a weak motivation. On my workstations, I am disabling the syslog daemon since a long time since I prefer browsing logs through journalctl and its superior abilities for filtering (grep, date ranges, services). People can still install the syslog daemon on their choices. On servers, I prefer syslog-ng to rsyslog and I configure it to use journald as its source for local logs as it gives me access to structured logs and more information. On non-Linux systems, a arch-specific package could just pull back rsyslog. -- A man was reading The Canterbury Tales one Saturday morning, when his wife asked "What have you got there?" Replied he, "Just my cup and Chaucer."
