Hi Admire,

There is interesting information that lives in old logs. You could in the
future build something to count how many queries have been performed on
your system, see how popular your RSS feeds are, look at errors users
encounter, etc.

So, if your concerned with space and backup time, you could either move
your old logs off of your production server, and move them to another
server that works more as an "archive". Or.. you could just tar/zip up some
old logs to compress them which will save a massive amount of space. So
that when you need the logs in the future, you can just extract them.

The dspace.log logs are important. Cocoon.log is not important.
I wouldn't recommend altering the contents of dspace.log, but if you've had
debug mode on for an extended period of time, you might want to remove
debug entries.
