So keep /var/log/messages and make the binary journal optional. Nope. /var/log/messages is highly lossy, for example, we cannot even use it for showing the "systemctl status" output we now have, which includes the last 10 log lines. That train has left the station. We created the journal with real usecases in mind, and we are not giving those up.
