Yeah, big oops.  My remote systems run rsyslogd with basic filtering to
send busy logs to a remote machine and the less busy logs go to local
storage.  The remote system uses syslog-ng to filter into multiple log
files based on source machine, daemon and keywords.  But if I had
systemd running then it would insist on having journald running, too,
yet I'd still need rsyslogd and syslog-ng to do all the filtering.  So
I'm just running an extra daemon for nothing.
