   Not really.   
      
   For example, in my machine I use leafnode as an nntp proxy server to   
   Usenet. It is very verbose, and floods the logs. With syslog, I put them   
   in a different file and rotate them faster, keeping only warning or   
   emergency level for longer.   
      
   With systemd I can do nothing. The entire verborrea of nntp is kept, and   
   the total is either rotated faster, or grow huge faster.
