This is entirely the point of using logrotate: it does one job, and it
does it well. It fits-in very well with the UNIX philosophy. Embrace it.

Apache httpd also doesn't rotate its own log files, though it can be
taught to do it, either using their own logger service or... using
logrotate. Note that neither of these solutions is really httpd doing
the work: it's some external tool, though httpd does make it somewhat
easier. (Copytruncate always seemed like such a hack to me, but it
definitely makes the daemon process simpler to write and manage).
