no more ignore is hardly possible
systemd in F19 was perfect
systemd in F20 is horrible from the view of a sysadmin

if you would do your job better i would not have to complain

if it would not feel systemd upstream does not care what
happens left and right maybe the feedback would differnt

did you ever consider that?

upstream does not help in case of Fedora

if the number one downstream distribution can't manage them
upstream should consider that thigs are not working properly

define harmless

* frozen terminals in case of reboot remote servers is not harmless
* burry relevant messages in a permanent flood is not harmless

if you ever would have managed 10, 20, 30 servers where you do
things like distribute-command "cat /var/log/messages" and expect
to not get burried by irrelevant notices your point of view would
be different

the problem is that you insist in journald and filtering while
you refuse to understand larger setups

i understand that, but you need to understand the reaction because
in fact i do not take anybody serious not face things like
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1010572 after the
first boot - why? because that means the person never looks at
his logs, serious sysadmins do

you don't get the point

systemd in F19 is working perfect
systemd in F20 is horrible

i do not demand to introduce all that things which are the reason
for now i not consider to upgrade any production machine to F20

and that is the problem with you attitude

* making changes left and right
* not care about the impact of users
* demand users to chew the reuslt or fix it themslef
