    I, like the other commenters here, am not privy to the 2 years of evaluation and experimentation.

    However, I won’t let that stop me from condemning this in no uncertain terms because AI bad and that’s more correct than any amount of “observational data” or “experimental evidence”.

    We may not be users of the software, contributors to the project or were even aware of what rsyslog is prior to seeing this announcement but as people who are chronically outraged we have valid concerns about this development which will ruin the software that we only recently discovered existed.

      Rsyslog comes standard on most if not all Linux distros, I’m willing to bet most people here have at least heard of it, or use/have used it in the past, especially if you’re a sysadmin. You pretending it’s some obscure software we’re all only just now hearing about, tells us you have no idea what you’re talking about.

      Think before you speak.

        Rsyslog comes standard on most linux distros, yes. It didn’t get that way because the development team are idiots who don’t know what they’re doing.

        So, on one hand we have the developers of a piece of software used by a majority of Linux users saying that, after 2 years of evaluation and testing, that these tools are useful and effective and on the other hand we have random social media people who’s only knowledge on the topic is that they know AI is bad and therefore this cannot be anything but bad.
