This seems like such a specious argument. Maybe it made sense when we were talking about disk drives that were megabytes in size, but now we have 500 gigabyte drives usually as a minimum.
You don't ever work with embedded systems, do you?
and there you can not distribute a config file with the option to disable this?
having the *option* do the double-log in journald to keep /var/log/messages alive would allow a *lot* of more users to remove rsyslog as with the "eat or die" proposal leading to have rsyslog manually installed on many systems
I am not sure what the benefit of this would be. I mean, journald comes with a built-in option for double-logging and keeping /var/log/messages around. It's easily accessible with one command, which is "yum install rsyslog". Extremely convenient.
