In fact in EL7 the default behaviour is no persistent journald since the
logging is set to auto and there is no /var/log/journal ...

The default behaviour is to have journald collect the logs and forward them
all to rsyslog to then be stored on disk or filtered or forwarded just the
same as in EL6 ...

On a related note this does mean that if you want persistent journald
logging you must remember to create that directory...
