It really feels like this discussion is beyond its peak usefulness.
Maybe we can give another shot of relevance by collecting a list of packages that depend on syslog (or are useless without /var/log/messages or other log files in /var/log) ?
I've heard logwatch, logrotate and fail2ban mentioned. Are there others ?
fail2ban no: journald support has been merged, so it's a matter of waiting for the upstream release and packaging that [1].
logrotate also no: no logs → nothing to rotate → no problem.
