I would be pleased to see folks working on that -- maybe even sponsor
their travel -- but I personally have limited interest in doing the
work to have journald send, receive, or manage logs beyond the local
machine. There are numerous, free/open-source, feature-rich log
aggregation tools that journald could have deep integration with. At
Pantheon (and increasingly on Drupal.org's clusters), we use Graylog2,
which uses indexing, browsing, and charting methods more appropriate
to 100+ machines. We manage the configuration of our machines with
Chef. I do see how native support for remote management and
aggregation might be useful for smaller clusters where you don't want
the additional complexity of adding more tools.

Am I misinterpreting what you mean by remote connection and management?
