As I can't look into the future, I'm just talking about the status-quo in Debian: We do install rsyslog by default in our current stable release (Jessie, aka 8.0) and that's still the case for testing/unstable. journald is setup to forward messages to rsyslog (aka. push model) and only logs to volatile memory (Storage=volatile [ยน]). We might change that eventually, but atm journal still seems not mature enough for me to enable that by default only. > But we can always provide an example in /usr/share... so users can copy > this file to override the default unit. That's really a nice feature in > systemd. I'd like to ship a default rsyslog configuration which is more restrictive. Not as example, but as default. My train of thought here is that advanced users with special needs, will have to configure rsyslog anyway, including the default systemd service file. But that depends on your feedback. If you think this is a bad idea, just let me know.
