Yes.  But it's not.  Although it should and could be an easily queried data
store.

This is filled with problems and pitfalls.  And the outputted text from the
data store search tool is terribly formatted for further inclusion with other
regular GNU/Linux command line text processing tools.  I would say, systemd and
journald are a great start to a great end -- but right now, it's not so much
fun...
