In terms of _size_, there's not much concern, as these are both very small
libraries.

In terms of *policy*, it does seem like this may be headed towards the path
of an eventual realization that putting all this functionality into one
monolithic package has some drawbacks.

I believe that both of these are for the journal (ie, logging). If the
systemd-journal-gatewayd service is running, one can connect via http on
localhost and get a file in /var/log/messages-like format or JSON.

This is kind of nifty, but raises a few questions. Traditionally, "messages"
data is world-readable, but for a few years we've been shipping it readable
only by root. What policy do we want for this, and what's the mechanism for
enforcing it?
