The choice > between "journal by default + syslog by default" and "journal by default > + syslog optional" however does. I would choose "journal by default + syslog by default". In fact, I would rather have systemd write text fies...

Technical reason? It's been already mentioned on this thread: You can read text files with whatever reader you'd like (or even shell built-ins) rather than relying on a binary reader. I've read the "Benefits to Fedora section" and I don't think they are significant enough to remove syslog from the default installation.
