Forwarding is enabled by default on Debian, as I wrote in my original
mail. I have no control over the default, and I have no desire to argue
for changing it. There are other syslogds in Debian (including the
default one) that do not read from the Journal, but rely on forwarding.
If forwarding was turned off, they'd stop working. Older versions of
syslog-ng would, too.
