I have no problem in scrolling back some pages in my terminal with shift-pgup, but having a status request block (plain 'systemctl' or 'journalctl' request a status) is just broken. Or, do you want that e.g. the 'ls -l' output gets auto-paged? I disabled it be setting an empty SYSTEMD_PAGER on my systems; but this breaks piping into a pager. E.g. 'systemctl | less -S' or 'journalctl | less -S' is useless because most information were removed. I have to remember non-consistent options now, e.g. 'systemctl -a' has a complete different meaning than 'journalctl -a'. Hence, the systemd tools should follow Unix/Linux tradition and specialize on their core functionality and avoid implementing "features" breaking user experience. There are other tools like 'less' which are much better suited for paging program output and concepts like pipes are well known and used at thousands of other places.
