OK, fair enough. Going with your figure (which I think is pretty low), what is the benefit to 99% of users from breaking tools for %1 of users? As far as I can tell it just a bit of additional storage space. Do 99% of users actually benefit

Good point, but not my example.[1] I found it a bit weak tbh. I think a more common and compelling case is where you need to treat the system log as a file input to some existing tool / system. Sure, you can install a traditional logge

I didn't know that either. From reading the linked thread in OP, it seems like the idea is that the systemd journal comes in at a lower level (started from initrd? kernel module? no idea...), so it helps with debugging early boot proce

It sounds like systemd journal is a good thing, especially for early boot debugging. That said, I don't get the proposal to remove the standard logger. Sure, the logs are duplicated...but having important data stored redundantly seems

INAL but I believe they could be charged under the Espionage Act (18 USC sec. 793) for leaking national security secrets, which is a felony, and they would lose privilege.

I hope so. But we have no insight into how much information was put in the "locked mailboxes." From what we do know, it's reasonable to assume the NSA has been gathering as much information on as many people as is/was le

INAL, but my understanding is that you can use a generic phrase like "cloud servers", where both "cloud" and "servers" have pre-established meanings in the space, as long as you don't use the name for a product competing in the same space.
