Comment 5 for bug 1677005

Gavin, I think you are absolutely right.

I think there is some sense of fear to moving to journalctl for all logging. Personally, I can accept it rationally. But the idea that /var/log isn't where the logs go flies in the face of decades of traditional UNIX administration experience, expectations, and that "everything is a file" sense of simplicity.

We will move to the 21st century one of these days. But that is a separate bug report. ;-)

Of course, given our apparent emotional attachment to these log files, we should still rotate them correctly if we're going to rotate them!
