You still have not addressed the third party programs and scripts that monitor /var/log/messages
We honestly cant keep progress and cleanup in the distribution back out of fear of breaking some third party programs
you could if you want
only journald is running -> write to "/var/log/messages" and "/var/log/secure" additionally to the journal a option in "/etc/systemd/journald.conf" to disable this
if a syslog-daemon is running leave "/var/log/messages" and "/var/log/secure" untouched from journald
so *if* you want you can keep progress without a large impact all the time
Except ... that would still keep duplicated logs on the FS. Removing the duplication is the primary reason for wanting to not install rsyslogd by default.
