Ah, yeah. My BE work is almost exclusively inside containers, where journald is not available. (We could perhaps arrange that, but JSON-lines is typically good enough, and easier for devs to understand.) (Note that the KV stuff requires you to speak journald's protocol: syslog in systemd (and really, everything I've ever seen speak syslog) is the old BSD syslog protocol, which doesn't support KV data. Not that journald's protocol is particularly hard to speak.)
