Disk log size is less of a concern now than in the past. Today, you can buy
disk storage at prices that make me cry ($180 for a 13GB EIDE drive; $1,500
for a 10,000 rpm 18GB UW Scsi StorageWorks (Compaq/DEC) brick). I remember
when disk storage was measured in megabytes, and 10MB was considered a big
disk (that was the mid 1980's, in case any of you youngster's weren't born
yet). So, let's try to extrapolate a little bit: we have very big drives and
very fast processors, and very scary security problems. Large logs are a
solution, not a problem, IMHO.

I think the concern is more often one of on-disk log size, but that's
definitely an implementation detail and not a protocol issue.
