TODO
Scope
- Disable rsyslog by default ( minor changes ).
How To Test
Trigger a logging event and test systemd-journalctl with various command line switches.
User Experience
For the novice end users this has no noticeable effect other than a simplified command line to view logs.
For advanced users such as administrators they will need to enable and start rsyslog or syslog-ng to use many of the enterprise features those syslog solution currently provide over systemd journal.
Dependencies
Depends on the presence of systemd v38+ being installed which is the case for Fedora 17 and onwards.

re-enable rsyslog.
Documentation
- It's recommended that documentation is updated to reflect usage of the native systemd journal command and it's configuration file
Release Notes
There shouldn't be anything we need to specifically say other than highlighting the change and howto re-enable rsyslog.
