   Using units is impossible.

   Imagine the command line listing all those five thousand units.   
      
   We tried several concoctions, and the command that worked best was this:   
      
   journalctl --boot=-2 --facility=kern,user,daemon,auth,syslog,lpr   
   uucp,cron,authpriv,ftp,12,13,14,15,local0,local1,local2,local3,l   
   cal4,local5,local6,local7 > journal_purged   
      
      
   Not units, but facilities. Problem is, there is no command to say "all   
   except...", instead you have to explicitly list all of them except those you   
   do not want to include.   
      
   And then there is another problem, that some entries do not have a facility   
   assigned, it got lost somewhere. They do have a facility when seen on syslog.   
   It is a systemd bug.
