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.
My voice may be one of thousands, but I'm saying: I want to have traditional syslog service as default and have journal from systemd as option.
I concur. I have systems that live in a heterogeneous environment and need traditional syslog. By making it optional, it will ultimately die, forcing journal as the only viable option in a Fedora environment. This is IMO not net beneficial for downstream use cases later on either.
