I guess the compression will be done on the fly, and not once per day by cron.

if you have so few logs that you only rotate them once a day, do you really need the compression to happen any sooner?
I've got systems where I rotate the logs FAR more frequently (down to single digit minutes on some systems). This is a pretty large installation (architected to handle > 100K logs/sec)) but when people are claiming the need to optimize things for performance/space reasons, they need to work better than the existing solutions.

I assume it'll be properly researched. It seems you're very happy with syslog. Journal will still allow you to use syslog. I don't see any big issue, except stop energy. After having pulseaudio and systemd, better to contribute than to try and avoid it :P
