   But then it'd not be a replacement, just another workaround, but this   
   one without even changing the tools.   
      
   (Objectively, the question here was whether systemd's journal could do   
   what Carlos is doing with a syslogd implementation. Lawrence has said it   
   can't be done.   
      
   I'm also wondering what the definition of scientificness is in this   
   context - not that this matters for the question here.)
