My only issue is the binary log files. When you're writing out the logs to disk, just make sure it is in text! How hard can it be?? It creates unnecessary friction when dealing with logs from a crashed system.
Does this ever actually come up for all the people complaining about it? Where are these people working that they're not willing to install rsyslog which reads journald logs directly and will write plaintext, but who have this problem enough to warrant all the complaining?
Like, previously to have any logs at all you had to have a syslog daemon. This is not a new situation.
