you could if you want

* only journald is running -> write to "/var/log/messages" and "/var/log/secure" additionally to the journal
  a option in "/etc/systemd/journald.conf" to disable this

* if a syslog-daemon is running leave "/var/log/messages" and "/var/log/secure"
  untouched from journald

so *if* you want you can keep progress without a large impact all the time
