I think we are good, because they are still usable. Systemd's journald
supports the syslog protocol, plus its own protocol. Anything that is
sent via syslog() is captured by journald and recorded in the journal,
as any event that would be sent via the journald logging API.

Journald also keeps track of the syslog facility information and stores
it a custom field [1], so this is still usable to differentiate log
sources.
