Several syslog daemons are packaged in Debian and some of them, particularly rsyslog and syslog-ng, do things that journald does not do. So no, not really, no "encouragement". The simple fact is that most users don't have complex logging needs and journald which is already installed fulfills those needs, so there is literally no need to force the installation of any particular syslog daemon any more. But they are there if you need them. > should I be paying attention to anything in particular? If you wish to adapt to a world without a syslogd then your journalctl -f will work. If the output you are interested in comes from things that are started by a systemd unit then you can filter to just those units with --unit (or --user-unit). You also can have journalctl output in a more structured format if that helps processing with other tools. Reading things with a more critical eye and not spreading rumours like, "we are encouraged to abandon rsyslog which is redundant" would be good.
