I was just reading the commit '6c43149c4':

"    Dropping 'minsize 100k' allows rotating small files, which will
    increase the number of log files, but 'rotate 4' ensures they will
    be removed after a month.
"

and trying to extrapolate. I'm fine with dropping it though. We really
need to get better at making the author of a series do this stuff!
