Why? What's the usecase? Why would you want to throw-away the good parts in the
journal files?
Again, the journalctl tries hard to salvage all data from the unit files,
should there be a corrupted one, and it does this implicitly, all the time,
when showing them. In the best case you hence never notice that something might
have gotten corrupted.</pre>
