AFAIK it's quite easy to hook up rsyslog to it and then it doesn't make a difference.

  That seems a bit inefficient to me, you'd end up with both binary and textual log files.

    Presumably if you want syslogd's features, it's for something other than the text log files (logging to SQL, network logging, ...).

    If you're doing this, you probably want to disable saving the binary logs -- journald will still retain recent logs from the current boot, so the status commands will still work. Personally, I uninstalled syslog and enabled binary log retention back when I was running F18, and I'm wishing my Ubuntu and Debian boxes had the same ability.
