So in those cases rsyslog would be required, but would be seen as a
post-install step.

EG what you are looking at is building a GNOME-OS and for those sorts
of tablets, etc the journal is right for that. The other cases like at
a Hospital, trading firm or various .gov.XX then having rsyslog
installed with audit post would be the way to get the needed features.
