My role is classified as DevOps consulting, working for several different companies, each with their own unique setup and teams... but yeah, it's basically glorified sysadmin work ;-). On the plus side though, I get to see the realities of internal company tech stacks, and that the default settings often are chosen over better solutions.

Thanks again for considering journald, and at the same time, don't forget that it's your project at the end of the day... you can always disregard feature requests if it's not a direction you want to head in. Though in this case, I do believe journald support would get your tool more traction with a larger audience in the long term.
