Fedora 21 Server and log-flooding

maybe someone of the server SIG could try to explain the
systemd-maintainers that calculation and that this is
unacceptable on real-world servers because it burries
any interesting information

the way systemd in Rawhide now logs make it unacceptable
on production servers and that said from someone running
Fedora on a lot of real-world servers for 6 years now

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1072368#c8

if the "Stopping", "Stopped", "Removed", "Starting"
and "Reached" messages would only have a prefix to
filter them out with rsyslog, currently you can't
distinct them between system-wide messages

such flooing up to a self-DOS belongs in a debug level
