With journald all output is saved in a binary format file that
is impossible to query when examining a crashed system because
is is always corrupted (especially when there are systemd
bugs causing the crash). 9 times out of 10, you won't be able to
boot the system again unless you remove the corrupted
journal file (and it only takes a couple of days of searching
to discover that is the problem :-).
