Note that this is not a straight-forward fix, because it will result in
having the logfiles twice on your machine by default (rsyslog +
journal), which is not a great default.

Fedora is trying to disable syslog in their default installation, but
that is a debate that we should really not be having right now.

I’d say the situation is unfortunate, but nothing we should address
immediately.
