On reflection I've begun to have some doubts whether it is reasonable to
have to trade-off a quiet boot for status messages in the journal after
booting. It also means that with something like cups there are no log
data shown for 'systemctl status' without systemd.show_status=1 and
removing 'quiet'. It seems a lot to do to gain something which was there
without effort in 208.

Would there be any benefit to be gained in taking this issue upstream to
systemd-devel?
