E.g. for a mail server with a web front end, you might want to keep the maillogs around much longer than the httpd access_log & error_log (though I'm not clear yet whether those will be replaced by journald, given how httpd handles logging, but it's an example). Or, similarly, different maximum data sizes for different services. As poorly as I understand it yet, I don't think it looks like journald has a way to do this yet; everything seems to share the same limits, if any. A way to specify for the different messages would be a nice thing. -- J.
