No longer install a traditional syslog service by default. (Specifically, remove rsyslog from the @core or @standard groups in comps.)
The systemd journal will be the default logging solution. Rsyslog, Syslog-NG, and even traditional sysklogd will continue to cover use cases outside of the default.
Can systemd journal be picked up by logwatch?, or similarly be emailed on a daily basis, without user creating a bagful of scripts?
No, logwatch works only with traditional text-based logs. There is this RFE filed [1], but that will probably not happen as it would require a total rewrite. It would make more sense to write a new logwatch-like utility from scratch, that handles only the journal. It's somewhere on my todo list, but has quite a low priority:(
