If I try to zypper remove rsyslog
It propose removing 2 packages (as expected) and installation of 3 new that will replace rsyslog with syslog-ng.
So how can I hide/mask rsyslog, and direct any relevant apps to systemd journal?
(I’m running OpenSuSE 12.3 x86_64, on NOTEBOOK, see no need for syslog)

There were talks of this in the factory mail list, but I’m not sure if
it is supported yet.

Continue? [y/n/p/?] (y):
It aint supported.
Sadly there is not even added choice between syslog-ng and systemd journal 
So even if journal work for you you still need syslog-nt or rsyslog.
So a bit different question:
How to configure OpenSuSE 12.3 to use chosen log implementation?
(So I can add journal as preffered one by hand, and then remove rsyslog from startup, etc.)
zypper in systemd-logger
Will do the trick. 
But still someone could update rpm’s for rsyslog/syslog-ng to provide systemd-logger as possible replacement. Than it would be “full” replacement.
This is community project, you know. Why won’t you do it if you need it?
Man I just installed OpenSuSE yesterday 
was too busy checking out how much speed up I could get from tuning systemd/initrd (lots of/too little).
But now that you meantion it, I will endevour to OpenSuSE wiki to check out how to contribute …
