Perhaps syslog should just be replaced with git. systemd could git commit /var/log/messages after every log line. What could go wrong?

That sounds about as good of an idea as the journal does from a high level in every environment _sans_ high integrity / audit environments such as those that need heavy Information Assurance and SELinux lockdown.
