As others have pointed out, Fedora/RHEL don't currently set logs to
readable by anyone other than root.

However, I think it is a good idea to allow privileged non-root users to
read logs (I set my systems up with logs group-readable and owned by
wheel).  However, IMHO this should be configurable, not hard-coded into
systemd (hard-coding things like this is almost always a bad idea).

It would be nice to allow some finer-grained controls (again, on some of
my systems, some logs are readable by different groups, sometimes more
than one via file ACLs).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
