RE my patch (package/systemd: journald should use volatile storage): The bug it works around (#7892) as far as I can tell, is still an issue. I'd prefer that the patch remains as a work around for the issue, but it isn't a big deal either way, and is your call. I've updated the bug with the details discussed in IRC a while ago.
