I'm not a huge fan of micro packages and splitting everything up. Where would you draw the line. In this specific case, would we call it systemd-journald-gatewayd or systemd-journal-remote or make it two separate binary packages? pitti was suggesting a systemd-extras package, but I'm not a huge fan of this idea either since it's unclear what would go into this package and what not and it complicates things if we have to move stuff around. For the time being, I'd say, we should simply be very conservative about what features we enable, which means not enabled the remote journal features for now. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
