wtmp and btmp need to be rotated. Other services (notably here: cups, nginx, apache, libvirt, postgresql, samba) also expect to have their logfiles rotated. I believe we should continue to install *and run* logrotate by default until we can get rid of wtmp and btmp and move services to use journal or syslog.
