Thank you.

Okay, I want something different here:

I don´t want those messages go anywhere. I want to get rid of those messages 
completely. So I don´t want the Linux kernel to audit on my desktop machines, 
I don´t want auditing to be started by systemd.

Please provide and/or advice on an easy way to accomplish it, preferably 
without having to resort to audit=0 kernel parameter.

Or even better: Make the whole stuff opt in.

Sorry, I felt attacked. Understandably so, I think, at least I understand 
myself here after all what has happened. I and Michael Biebl have a history of 
difficulties in communication in bug reports regarding systemd, I just thought 
my feedback gets discarded again. Compare the I-message "I don´t see Jessie 
affected as systemd 215 does not enable auditing" to "How is that relevant for 
jessie which has v215?" and consider which one of those is easier to 
understand as a attack given the history of discussions around systemd.

So I will use audit=0 nor now and wait for another resolution. I will keep 
systemd from experimental for testing for now, as you seem to value my 
feedback.

Thank you,
