There is (still) no business case for removing syslog from the default, so presumably it won't happen.

(Not to try to argue about the quality of the syslog-ng! ANY package installed by default offers a default surface for attack... this is NOT the only CVE there is for syslog-ng).
I have to agree. I'm all for supporting syslog, in fact I believe it's quite superior to journal, but that doesn't mean installing it in tandem with journal when its features aren't required makes sense. If average desktop users have no need for all the extra functionality of syslog, like remote logging, then average desktop users don't need it installed.
Correct, but the average desktop user doesn't _need_ Solitaire either. However, I refer you to $SUBJ. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.5°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
