Linux systems have a standard system log rotation mechanism (see
logrotate(8)), which can rotate logs by size and time and has a number of
other features.  I would rather depend on that kind of preferred system
mechanism than rolling out our own.  And we already depend on cron for
vacuuming anyway.
