The rfc3195 part, while in use by a handful of apps, is really something that 99.98% of the folks never need, and it is a relatively large body of code. The journalemu part you'll never need on systems with systemd journal, and I assume that'll be the majority in future. The stdlog component will always remain a very small component (never say never, I know...) and so I think it would be least intrusive to split these components into separate packages.
