I know this has been discussed quite a bit and I've always heard about
doing the rotation for `traffic.out` and `diags.log` (as in the original bug
description) and never heard mention of being more supportive of an external
rotation tool. I think having two different mechanisms, though, (one for these
files and another for the other log files) is the worst choice. We should
require an external tool or not for everything.

> There might be reasons why this file might get filled up, e.g. libraries used
> by plugins producing output on STDOUT/STDERR. A few suggestions have been
> made, to somehow rotate traffic.out. One possible solution (suggested by
> Ryan) is to use cronolog (http://cronolog.org/), which seems like a fine idea.

> Maybe consider rolling diags.log as well. -Feature enhancement.

> When traffic.out gets filled up, error.log stops filing up, even though
> rotation is turned on. This is
> counter-intuitive. Rotation does not control traffic.out, but a large
> traffic.out will stop error.log from being
> written.
