Can I just point out, for all the Lennart-haters, that he doesn't have the final word in what gets implemented in a distro. It's not like he's shutting down any syslog projects either, or threatening to kill the maintainers' cats if they don't use his software. Distro maintainers move to his software because they think it's an improvement over what they had before.
Case in point: Lennart works for Red Hat, but Arch is actually further along than Fedora in adopting the Journal.
Personally, I removed my syslog daemon about two months ago, and haven't missed it. I also switched to Fedora back in the new year (from Ubuntu) specifically because I wanted to try out Gnome 3 and Systemd. Loving it so far :).
