It's so useful I would like this a default during anaconda installations in one

I find it quite a bit easier to use and have disabled rsyslog as part of my new 
setup procedure since F18; but that's only after using journalctl and messages 
side by side for a while and finding, so far, that journalctl contains more 
information but is easier to filter than messages.

I think the simple reference is in regards to the implied rewiring of biomatter 
that'll be needed to drop rsyslog.
