OK, how about this other idea. Include a default-on systemd service that runs
journalctl --full -f > /var/log/messages
in the background.
Doesn't do rotation or anything like that. Also, that already exists in rsyslog, no need to duplicate things here.
The journal is not an implementation of syslog, we already have that in rsyslog. Also, the feature is about ending the duplicate storage of the log messages [...]
Considering log rotation, and an effect of the above (> vs >>) being that only the current boot interval would be logged in the text file, there would not be much savings to worry about. Perhaps this could be an acceptable compromise.
The feature is about getting rid of the duplicate log copies, it's hardly a compromise if you leave that bit in...
