@dino99 how was "what most users prefer" prefer determined? Was there a poll?
Systemd already has configuration options to limit the growth the the journal. As documented in `man journald.conf`, the defaults are already set to prevent filling up a disk.
If there were a poll, I can certainly imagine people voting for having valuable logging kept for review. That has been the policy for syslog for years. I don't see why someone would want to suddenly start throwing away valuable logs at reboot just because the logging backend is now journald instead of syslog.
