I chase this one, knowing full well that convincing anyone of anything is nearly impossible. There remains only a few holdouts from the "major" distributions: Gentoo and Slackware. So, give 'em a go... However, I've spent a significant time over the last few days relearning much of what I thought I knew about rsyslog, what I knew I didn't know about systemd, and musing about what the future may hold... And I gotta say, I might have agreed with you several months ago -- but I no longer do... Systemd is going to take over, because it's - well - better than what existed in the past. And that's also what open source is about -- a meritocracy. I also learned that rsyslog, syslog-ng and company have had sql logging capability all along... silly me! I should just learn to look more thoroughly at what I have in front of me... and, I'm sure, if you take a good honest look at the whole of systemd and what the team is attempting, you'll come over to the dark-side as well...
