Exactly.
Journalctl should be able to take the One True Logfile and scan it, rewriting items to be retained and discarding items to be deleted .
All its creator could be bothered to do was to simply enable it to truncate the One True Logfile thus losing potentially important log entries.
It seems to have no inherent concept of important versus less important logs.
Oh, I dunno. I'm no Linux expert, by any measure, but I have kept logs in other areas of my life for many years.
I have discovered over time that what is important to me today might not be so in the future, and equally, what seems unimportant now can become very important later.
The information you don't want today should be retained in case you need it at some future date. If you delete it, it's gone.
