Hi,
Workstation working group discussed this at a recent meeting, and
reached no decision. There's general agreement that a time based
limitation should apply rather than disk usage limit, to make the
retention more predictable. I think this can work by default for all
Fedora editions and spins.

One year sounds like a good default to

If there are non-negligible speed impacts from large logs, this seems
like a problem with

As we start a new year, I'm thinking about data retention in general. :)
In my experience, it's pretty rare on an end-user laptop or desktop system for
logs from much more than the previous boot to be interesting. Maybe I
occasionally want to look back a little while to see if a problem just
