Huh, no. I actually prefer syslog.

The other day I had to report a bug in the kernel. To do so I wanted to 
produce a journal log without private information: mail, and authpriv. 
Also news because it is too big. To do so I run:

journalctl --boot=-2 -- \
facility=kern,user,mail,daemon,auth,syslog,lpr,news,uucp,cron,authpriv,ftp,12,13,14,15,local0,local1,local2,local3,local4,local5,local6,local7 


The problem is, that some information is missing from the output, 
because there are messages submitted to the journal without a facility 
assigned.

journalctl(1) does have one exclude type of option:

        "-T, --exclude-identifier=SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER
            Exclude messages for the specified syslog identifier"

but

journalctl: unrecognized option '--exclude-identifier=news'

systemd 254 doesn't have it. 257 does. So, not me.
