Oh, we also have 'journalctl --reverse' :)

There's a general policy of keeping char-for-char compatibility between
'journactl' and 'cat /var/log/messages' or 'cat /var/log/syslog'. 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".
