I find it odd that this case doesn't make mention of logadm(1M), the existing piece of architecture already in the OS which is nearly identical to what is being introduced by this case. It would be nice for the case to (at least briefly) describe the relationship between these two bits of architecture. For example, is this case changing the log rolling facility that is enabled by default (logadm is in root's crontab by default today)? Can the two facilities co-exist as long as they don't touch the same log files? How will administrators coming from other OSs that only have logrotate know to read logadm(1M) and go into /etc/logadm.conf in order to remove configuration that may conflict with their logrotate configration? -Seb
