Please do not use that phrase legacy in this context. |

Classic syslogging is not legacy. It is current. The systemd method is |
| 11 |
not the new thing that replaces and deprecates the old thing, it is |
| 12 |
merely a new (and unproven) kid on the block. |

"Legacy" in the context of logging can only really mean the old |
| 15 |
syslogger protocol as implemented by syslogd. It has no standard behind |
| 16 |
it and is correctly described as "whatever syslogd does", whereas there |
| 17 |
is a new syslogging protocol, with an RFC. This is most certainly not a |
| 18 |
legacy standard. |
