This is unlikely to change, because there are just too many other possible choices, and there's value in being able to say that "<(journalctl) replaces </var/log/messages exactly".</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
