I know, I asked Rainer to add that.

But this is actually much less useful than what the journal does: it's
per-pid, not per-service.

Yes, I know, I asked Rainer to add that. But it's not on, and there's no
accepted syntax for syslog messages to carry this, and it's pretty
incomplete. No selinux labels, no audit, and no service information.

actually sent them.
