+Only if you upgrade without a network connection. Like I say this
+suggestion would only cover the cases where there was a desire to remove
+rsyslog from the physical media (to make room for other stuff).
+
+It's only an option tho'. I'm not suggesting it's a solution or not.

+
+Not sure. I'll find out. It should be trivial really... i.e. all it
+really needs is a journalctl -f command run on tty12. You could craft an
+agetty command that worked like that easily enough, although there may
+be something more elegant that is more efficient and cleaner.
