so does that mean that every service that doesnt have socket activation stuff will not be properly supported? i can imagine enough services where you dont want the delayed starts and all that.
No, syslog is very special in that context, like udev or D-Bus are special for systemd.
Systemd needs to race-free pass over its own /dev/log socket that connects to the kernel buffer, hence the requirement for syslog.
With that infrastructure, you can even replace any running syslog, even with a different product, any time, without ever losing a single message. But it needs to support systemd's socket activation.
Most other stuff is just a normal service.
Then ...please... open a bugzilla, and then we add the required patches to all three syslog deamons.
