with *that many* lines?

that information already exists in /var/log/secure and /var/log/cron
these lines are completly useless for a non-developer

consider that not refuse that often what a user wants to
see or not to see *as default* because as developer you
have other needs is one of the reasons *endusers* get
sometimes really angry

if they would have a prefix i would filter them to nowhere in rsyslog

please understand that not everybody is using journalctl and if it
is only because using centralized logs in databases since long
before systemd was introduced
