Out of curiosity - how exactly being ACID-compliant helps to read a
corrupted RDBMS table?
What's exactly that bad to keep all coredumps (they're blobs anyway) in
one place (a big blob, but it's *one* blob) vs spreading them all other
filesystem (s)?

I'm not that big fan of binary logs myself, but your arguments seem out
of place somehow.

Better arguments would be:

1) Unstable journald format. Good luck finding that exact version of
journalctl to read logs over next several years.

2) Which leads us to - an upgrade can render all your logs unreadable.
That's a real joy, isn't it?

3) Braindead pull-based journald logs replication, as opposed to a
conventional push-based one that syslog is using.
