I suppose this is about "journalctl" and "systemctl status
foo.service" not working as user who is in the "adm" group. The intent
of adm is to be able to read system log files, like we had with
rsyslog and friends.

Quite frankly, I wonder why we need the systemd-journal group at all.
We could just use "adm" for that? Or at least add a group r-x ACL
indeed.
