Comment 3 for bug 1618188

> Where will the public policy discuss take place?

It should happen on https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel . However, I'm not going to start it now, we are past feature freeze for yakkety and I have enough other things to work on in this release. Feel free to start it yourself of course!

> Perhaps one possibility for a interim solution is for rsyslog to log to journald by default

No, it's the other way around -- rsyslog should pull its data from the journal (but that's a different topic actually). The journal already collects all syslog() calls, it logs what rsyslog does plus a lot more.
