I just did a clean install of F21 with rsyslog and it's logging to
"/var/log/messages" and co without any edits.

I was about to press "Send" and remembered some earlier testing that
I'd done. If you set "Storage=none" in "/etc/systemd/journald.conf",
the imjournal module cannot do its job. You need at least
"Storage=volatile" for it to work.
