I have a mixed feelings about that. I think that replacing rsyslog with 
journald is two steps back in regards to functionality and flexibility.

Rsyslog in unparalleled with its ability to process and filter messages 
(rainerscript), to transform messages (liblognorm), to forward messages to 
Elasticsearch or centralise Rsyslog instance, _reliably_ (relp), to buffer 
message queue on disk in case communication is disrupted, etc.

Am I correct that journald is nowhere near that functionality?
Also maturity/stability -- Rsyslog has been around much longer and it never 
let me down...

As a heavy user or Rsyslog features I feel that switching default logging 
system yields no benefits to say the least.
